Eugene Shadley has been making collector grade folding knives since 1988.  Along with Terry Davis, they literally wrote the book on making multi-blade folding knives.  Published in 1997, they co-authored "How To Make Multi-Blade Folding Knives" in 1997.  Eugene's work is as collectible today, as when he first started making knives.  You will often find him at knife shows, where he frequently sells out.  You have to hold one of Eugene's knives to truly appreciate his fit and finish, and his attention to detail.  The quality of his knives has been consistent throughout his entire career.

This 5-blade Sowbelly was completed in 1995.  It is in the same new, mint condition as when it was first made.  It features blades made from ATS-34 stainless steel.  The frame is covered with two (2) beautiful, fiery Mother of Pearl scales, that are perfectly matched.  It is hard to capture the colors,  depth and shimmer, but they are there.  The bolsters are integral to the liners, and the frame is made from 416 stainless steel.  The pins and shield are 14k Gold.  Eugene's tolerances are tight, and the knife is perfectly executed.  All the blades lock up tight with no play, and the seating of each blade is spot-on center where they should be.  Each of the 5 blades has a half stop.  Each blade has an ample nail nick with a comfortable and smooth pull.  Nice "walk-and-talk" all the way around.  The knife is previously owned and in mint condition.  The knife will include a signed COA.  This is knife number 696, completed 7/21/98.  Comes in a felt pouch.
