Engraved Rough Rider/ Scrimshaw

[buendia518]

I received this engraved rough rider knife as a gift and I'm curious if it was done by hand. Or is this just a style they offer? It came from a store somewhere in Chicago. There's a signature but I can't make it out. I recall it's inappropriate to ask for thoughts on price, so...thoughts?

Looks really well done. Like it! :thumbup: Did you pay much more for it than you would have without the scrimshaw?

IIRC, Gold members can ask questions about value irrespective of the forum. In my experience a lot of different artists scrimshaw low cost knives. I have an American Eagle brand small slipjoint with a cute rainbow trout going after a fly. Mine was done by a scrimshaw company in New England and was a gift as well.
