WITHDRAWN
"CHOPSTICKS" BY ROBERT KAUFMANN - Details follow images:
The night prior to Blade Show this year, Robert Kaufmann was chosen as one of the three finalists in the CKCA-Jerry Fisk Cutlery Challenge, as shown in the above image with Kevin Jones and Jerry Fisk. Robert is QUITE well-known in Europe and his pieces are highly prized by collectors. But because all of my Damascus is going, going (but not yet gone), this piece is now up for grabs - but still leaving me with two rooms full of knives.
"Chopsticks" were made for me as a custom order in 2012, delivered to me by Robert in 2012. Hard to imagine, but these chopsticks even have a ground edge! Overall length sheathed of 9 3/4", unsheathed length of 9 3/8", blade length of 6 1/2". Robert only uses natural materials, and here we have Ebony and Pink Ivorywood, with leather carrier. Everything you see in this thread is sole authorship.
$XXXX shipped (CONUS or Canada). Paypal or USPS money order accepted, or personal check if I know you. International buyers welcome, but payment must be via Western Union with extra for shipping.
First email to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx saying "I'll take the Kaufmann for $XXXX" gets it. I don't respond to private messages or posts to this thread.
Finally, here's the way Robert usually incorporates chopsticks into his primary design pieces (such a piece is HUGE money - the model is "Scythe"), so be sure to follow all the images below to the last:
