Up for sale, a one-of-a-kind custom/customized 11" picklock stiletto by Arlin "SloJoe" Walker with a polished Swedish damascus dagger blade.
The scales are faux conch shell with red liners, mammoth(?) ivory spacers, and 24k gold plated screws. Bolsters are solid brass, and the heavy brass liners are fileworked all around.
The polished stainless backspring is fileworked in a Vine and Thorn pattern with a different Vine and Thorn pattern on the kickspring. The release button is a gorgeous pink/magenta Star Sapphire set in a 14k gold bezel.
I'm not the original owner, and while the knife doesn't appear to have been used, carried, or sharpened, it has some scuffing on the front bolster. The blade fires hard and sits deep in the handle.
Full disclosure: If you hold the handle in an extra-firm monkey-grip while firing, the heavily-sprung blade will occasionally bounce back a little and not fully lockup, but with a medium-firm two-finger-and-thumb grip, it'll lockup every time.
The knife is unmarked (as are most of SloJoe's damascus blades, in my experience) but here's the maker's original listing: http://www.slojoe.com/mine91.html
I'm asking$375.00 $350.00 SOLD via PayPal G&S, which includes PP fees and priority shipping in the ConUS only. No trades, please.
