Bill Tuch Titanium SPARROWHAWK Scale Release D/A Liner-Lock Folding Knife

From the Tuch Knives website: "Tuch Knives is a father son business that makes some the highest quality, heirloom grade handmade knives in the world. Under the mentorship of Butch Vallotton and Tim Herman, William Tuch developed a skill set matched by very few other makers. His vast knowledge of automatic and old school art knife making techniques has led to a remarkable portfolio of work over the past 20 years in the business. Eric, his son, has been honing his skills for the past 10 years, working side by side with his father, learning everything William has to teach."

The William Tuch custom Sparrowhawk is a D/A scale release, liner-lock folding knife.  It features a two-tone mirror polished S30V stainless steel blade with satin flats and dual thumbstuds.  The scales are polished titanium.  The backspacer is stainless steel and the jeweled liners, thumbstuds and tip-up mounted pocket clip are all bluish-purple ("blurple") anodized titanium. The pocket clip is attached with hidden hardware - a classy touch.  The knife opens smoothly manually, has a tight lockup, centered blade seating and snappy action using the scale.  The knife is previously owned, and in overall excellent condition.  Some very faint and minor swirl lines on the scales from handling/storage.  Haven't seen many Sparrowhawks with full titanium scales.  They're more often carbon fiber.  Comes in a generic padded, zippered case.
