Greetings gents,
Offered for sale is a damascus hunter by ABS Master Smith Jim Walker.
This knife sports a 4 1/2" damascus blade in a classic ladder pattern with lots of shimmer. Overalll length is 9".
The handle is a real nice piece of ebony with brown streaks adding a touch of visual warmth. There is no cracking to the handle at all, but you can just - and I mean JUST feel the pins, suggesting a very minor degree of shrinking. It hasn't got any worse over the course of a long dry winter, so I doubt it will move any more.
Knife comes with a padded zippered case, no sheath.
Price is withdrawn inclusive of shipping in Canada and the US. Paypal accepted (and preferred) - no fees.
If you find better value in a damascus MS hunter, buy it, then let me know where I can get one, too.
***** ROBERTS BOWIE IS SOLD ******* Next up is a "Sapling Cutter" bowie by ABS Journeyman Smith Matt Roberts - winner of the prestigious "Best New Maker" award at the 2006 BLADE Show. This beefy beast sports a 9 1/2" blade of 1065 that is about 2" wide for most of it's length. A highly polished and radiused spine contrasts nicely with the satin-finished flats. A pronounced raised clip lends an aggressive countenance to the piece. A subtle, whispy hamon is visible on this piece, though not so in the photos. A gorgeous hunk of quilted maple contoured handle.
This puppy is a whopping .375" at the spine, and while a strong distal taper keeps it from being unwieldly, the dominant feel is one of strength and power. If I had to pick a knife for some heavy chopping chores, this one would be high on the list.
Knife comes in a padded zippered case, no sheath.
Price is US$550, inclusive of shipping in Canada and the US. Paypal accepted (and preferred) - no fees.

The first "I'll take it!" via e-mail: rogerpinnock@cogeco.ca gets either or both knives.
Thanks for your attention
Roger
