Here's my newest folding dagger.
This beauty is made with sterling silver bolsters.
Larry Donnelly damascus. And some very fine blue mammoth bark.
3" blade. 7.75" oal
Smooth action. Locks firmly with a 'snap'. :cool:
$750

Sterling Silver bolsters front and rear,RARE dark blue Woolly Mammoth slabs to meet the dark Damascus blade. O.K. So it wasn't a dream, you really did make this knife.
AWESOME. Your style and color choices are perfect. The symmetry of your work is perfect. It flows from top to bottom like a blue river.If I were to sell my car I could buy this. But then I'd walk to work carrying all my tools of the trade in my hands. My wife wouldn't like that idea. But I can and will say what I have about the blade. That's still free!
Great work Mark. When you sit back and look at what you've done it must make you split with pride. I'm impressed enough for 6 of me! Sometimes you see a knife and think "HEIRLOOM" right away. This is one that makes me think of leaving something for my kids to fight over. This artwork IS heirloom quality beyond a shodow of a doubt. God Bless Mark
Peace.
 
WOW! That's an incredible work of art! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
I know what you guys mean. I check the status of this piece of art daily to make sure no one has bought it yet. I really want it. I just need some cash :(
 
Absolutely Incredible work, Mark. :thumbup:
 
Mark, My mother was the first one who taught me not to lie.Since then it has been reinforced throughout my life.Your knife is all that I said and more. I showed my wife Sherry the knife and she said she wants it! Sorry but I can't buy it for her just now. You see she is just sealing the envelope with the final payment for MY birthday blade from you! Thanks for taking my order and accepting my payments in increments. I would have NEVER been able to afford such a blade if you hadn't gone above and beyond in the ordering and manufacture of my Gentleman's Warncliffe folder with Exhibition grade Mother of Pearl scales the finest file work and yummy Damascus blade all sandwiched together with gold screws and a gold Mokume bolster crafted by you. I could paint pictures of my blade though I've yet to see it I already know it will exceed my wildest dreams.
You are a true artisan Mark and again, let me say thanks for the help in making my dream come true. I'm one of the little people in life, but you creating this blade and taking our payments until complete has made it all possible. You made us feel like pretty big people too! You are a true gentleman and best of all a great Christian as well.
May God continue to bless you with ever increasing talent and abilities so that even your wildest dreams will come true too!
Love and long life, Prince of Peace.

Hello all!
I've had the pleasure of holding the "Blue Dart" in my hand, and one thing the pics do not convey is ... it's big and heavy! A very hefty and tight piece, worth the modest price (You should be asking for more, Mark!) The silver is quite bright, and the scales have a superb, glossy finish. Mark's best yet, aside from the knife he built for my daughter. The lucky buyer will confirm my observations when he or she first holds it; a true family heirloom to last many lifetimes.

Thanks all. I truly appreciate your wonderful feedback. This knife is still available. I pray that the lucky buyer comes along soon! :)
 
Hello Mark!

I was wondering where the mammoth scales came from. They're beautiful!

Hi Bill,

Those fantastic blue scales were acquired in a trade with a fellow knife maker at the 'Blade Show'. Chris Brookshear is his name and he now owns one of my knives and these scales made the 'Blue dart' the knife that it is.
 
I never knew there was such material to make a knife from.That is a work of art.Thanks to this site i have my order in for a knife by this artisan.Holy smokes ,you guys are Smokin!I think this one should go to a mueseum...Bully for you,or is that Bully for me?Bully i say,Bully!
 
Mark...I want this so bad I can taste it...but there's no way a poor knifemaker like me could afford it.

Somebody save me from my pain!
 
Thanks Dan. But one poor knife maker to another... you make some pretty awesome knives and I am looking forward to getting mine!
