Now this is an absolutely beautiful knife. May I ask how much you paid for it?

Awe man it's been awhile-- mid 4's I believe.

What do You mean by heat fired ??..

[apophysis7]

The diamond inserts are heat treated on both sides to add the bronze coloring shown in my video and internet pics.

A same method is also applied to the now largely unavailable Bronze Ultratech Katana.

correction-- "This same method"

[thundabump]

does the blade wiggle or have any play in it?

[apophysis7]

A little side to side play.

I find with most double-action knives I own there is a greater degree of blade play than you would see with a single-action knife like a Microtech Halo for example.

A Microtech Halo's deployment almost has a little kick to it-- something not really seen in the knife featured above. Double-actions have a far better retraction than deployment in my experience.
