Brand new, in mint condition Bill Behnke Basketweave damascus and sambar stag bowie. Payment: USPS MO, Paypal, or major credit cards through Google Checkout are all fine. Shipping is via Priority Mail fully insured with tracking. Trades for multiple lesser knives are fine as long as the value is there and they can be easily resold.
I obtained this piece directly from the maker and am the original owner. The damascus is incredible, and is a basketweave pattern that Bill is excellent at making, composed of 1080 and 15N20 steels. Basketweave damascus is a hard and expensive pattern to make, and only a handful of select knifemakers do it well. It took me 6 months to find stag up to my standards for this handle. The stag is just awesome, on both sides, with great popcorn texture. Guard and pommel are 416 stainless, and the spacer is African Blackwood. The knife is approximately 13.5" overall with a 7.75" blade. The knife comes with a basketweave tooled sheath made by the maker, a certificate of authenticity signed by Bill describing the knife, and two Chuck Ward professional digital images of the knife. I also have a good offer from Dave Lark to engrave the guard and pommel, which I think would complement this piece nicely, but is entirely up to you if you want o have it done. Bill makes a great knife. $825 shipped or best offer!
