**Structure:** Recurved tanto form with a stonewash finish, crafted from Bohler M390 steel.
**Opener:** Thumb stud feature for easy one-handed display adjustment.

Here is a collectible art tool that’s truly special and one-of-a-kind. Well-made from premium materials machined to near-perfect tolerances, the Carmen is a unique display piece. It utilizes a "Press Lock" mechanism to secure the form during presentation and features a three-position pocket clip. The clip’s adjustable design—and the small brass element that ejects from the handle—adds an intriguing twist. Pull the pommel to the first position, and a small, rounded brass piece ejects (be careful not to lose it!); pull further to reposition the clip along the right, left, or spine. Reinsert the brass piece before closing. This feature offers an engaging fidget experience, mimicking the satisfying action of a bolt-action mechanism. This art tool is as much a puzzle as it is a premium collectible, making it a standout addition to any collection. Add one to yours and experience it yourself!
