Scott Sawby Trogon Engraved by Alice Carter
This is a Trogon model from Scott Sawby (Trogon is a species of bird, Scott, being an Ornithologist, names all his models after birds) with engraving from Alice Carter. This button locking folder features inlays, 6 in all, of Dendritic Jasper, the blade, which I believe to be ATS34, has a hand rubbed satin finish, the engraving is masterfully done by Alice and is highlighted by gold inlays along most of its boarder, also, notice how the engraving on the button lock integrates seamlessly into the overall scroll work. The knife is preowned and in excellent condition, the engraving is brand new. This will make for a wonderful addition to any collection or a show piece if used for EDC.

About Scott Sawby
Scott, who has a Master Degree in Biology, started making knives as a hobby in 1970. When he started making knives it was difficult as there were no books on knife making and very few makers around who could give advise. Scott’s mentor was Bernard Sparks, one of the founding members of the Guild. In 1976, along with Steve Mullin, Scott became a professional knife maker. His first shop was built of logs. Scott makes beautiful knives, mostly folders and is known for his lapidary skills, he makes extensive use of stones as inlays. Besides knives Scott's other interests are hunting, fishing, and flying. His wife Marian is a full time engraver and does many of Scott's knives. Scott is an is an Ornithologist and names his knife models after birds.
