This knife is named after those lascivious female spirits that seduce men in their sleep during dream state in strange and phantasmal forms luring them into all manner of nocturnal perversions. This very sensual, elegant, and extreme folder reminds me of a feline frozen in mid leap. The highly colored and intricately styled materials suggest an almost inner vibration coming from the piece; these include bold patterned Mosaic Damascus, an exquisite, rare set of large premium black-lip pearl scales, copper accents, anodized titanium, abalone inlays, and upside down, floating, channel-set stones. This one really is the epitome of a "Jensen Knife": it is stylish, dramatic and immaculately conceived in both design and craftsmanship. "Succubus" goes beyond a pocket knife, and into the realms of pocket jewelry. Click Here to view the original drawing of this knife.
