I'm hoping someone will recognize this knife or at least the handle material.
it was an ebay purchase, lot of 2, i was after the other knife.
searching "Ed Kalfayan knives" shows me numerous examples of his work, but nothing like this pattern.
7 1/8" OAL, but not really a "little" knife, rather, beefy. the in-hand fit with index finger through the hole is perfect and gives one a sort of 'invincible' feeling.
i realize that Mr. Kalfayan's work is not considered "high end" but i would like to learn a bit about this knife if possible.
first, is there a name for this pattern ?
is this a pattern Mr. Kalfayan made mutliples of ?
app. age ?
and finally, what is the handle material ? it is heavy and has an irregular longitudinal grain. i hope the pics help.
thanks, roland
