A compound grind means more than one bevel angle on the same blade, and mirror polishing it leaves nowhere for a flaw to hide. Every grind line and every low spot would show. That is why almost no production knife at this size gets one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a 2.7 inch Duke, that is a lot of hand work on a small blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePearl Inlay and Pearl Button\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handle carries a white pearl inlay and the button matches it. Shell, not plastic, so both shift as the light moves.

Small autos are harder to build well than large ones, because the spring has less room to work in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSerialized of 80\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEighty exist.
