I am selling a Bill Reddiex custom made Bowie style knife.
Bill Reddiex was a well respected New Zealand knife maker who was also president of the New Zealand Knifemakers guild.
It appears that Mr. Reddiex passed away a few years ago (but I am unable to find a proper confirmation).
This knife was made for a family member by Reddiex that I am handling the estate of.
My research about this knife returned the following...
#27. Model B2 - Overall length 14 3/4, blade length 9 5/8
Had a choice of steel (D2, 440C, and ATS34)
Stainless pins and guards were default option
Also had the choice of the following handle materials: Cocobola(default), Ivory, Paua Shell, Stag, Drysdale sheep horn, Desert Ironwood, Mother of Pearl, Coral
The only major issue with the blade is the very tip appears to be broken off (pictured below).
Included with purchase are some forms and papers from Reddiex (1994 order form and a pamphlet with corresponding pictures).
*****NO LONGER AVAILABLE*****
Payment provided via Paypal or USPS MO.
I apologize for photo quality as iPhone is the best thing I have at the moment.
