I have decided to part with my beautiful Buster Warenski black dagger that has been mine since its initial sale by Buster Warenski at "The Knife Makers Guild Show" in Orlando in 1990.

Big thanks to betzner betzner for directing me to take first quality images, and for his helpful assistance in better understanding my Warenski. He also posted some good info in the thread https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/warenski-daggers-what-to-look-for.1637902/

1) Condition is unused, as-new, perfect.
2) Blade length is 220 mm (8.66") of 440-C stainless steel.
3) Overall length is 358 mm (14.09").
4) Width of the guard is approx 75 mm (2.95").
5) Handle material is fluted black marble with silver wire wrap
6) Wooden box is included.
7) It has been confirmed by Julie Warenski that the engraving and embellishment is done by her. The collar is marked with "J Warenski".

Payment details immediately follow the images below:

Asking price is 9,500 EUR (or any other currency with equivalent value) plus shipment and insurance costs.
Reasonable offers considered.


Payment via wire transfer, PayPal or any other payment method that is safe for both parties.
Payment via Bitcoin works too.

Any additional costs for me when taking payment with a method preferred by the seller is to be paid by the seller.

PayPal charges 3.4% which would be 323 EUR. PayPal is very expensive!

Wire transfer is my preferred method and I have a SEK, USD and EUR account with Wise and they charge me NO fees on my side when receiving the payment if you send me EUR or USD. Your bank might charge a transfer fee on your side but I have no possibility to know your bank's transfer fees.
I definitely recommend Wise and their borderless account.

International express (or standard) shipping and insurance at buyer expense.
I am currently investigating what the shipping cost from Sweden within EU with insurance would be and the initial indications are 200-250 EUR for standard shipping with FedEx, UPS and DHL based on insurance value of 9500 EUR.

Please note that any buyer outside European Community might have to pay VAT and customs fees.

For buyers in Sweden I can make delivery within Sweden for free after payment has been done.

It is easily understood why one might not wish to part with such a large sum in advance, particularly when dealing intercontinental, thus it is suggested that a transaction between Europeans would be more desirable for both parties, though any other suggestions to the contrary will certainly be entertained.

I am not opposed to selling to the US at all, and in fact, I would be happy to assist / partially finance in any endeavor that would cause the buyer to fly to Sweden (Arlanda Airport) for a face-to-face purchase exchange, something that I believe could be mutually and satisfactorily concluded.

I am happy to answer any questions, but please send them via private message.

I have for sale a beautiful art dagger made by legendary Willie Rigney!

Stainless fittings.
Presentation grade wood handle.
Engraving by Ron Skaggs.

Wooden box included.

Purchased directly from Willie Rigney on a knife show in the US back in the beginning of the 90's.

Following text about Willie Rigney can be found on the web:

"As you may already know, along with Buster Warenski, Willie Rigney was one of the great masters of the Art Dagger, and in our opinion, second to none. Willie is now retired, so chances to purchase his exquisite work come few and far between!"
