I am offering up a trio of knives today from renowned builders. All of these are from an older family collection and most would be from the late 80s. None were carried or sharpened, but they are not flawless museum pieces. If you have any questions or comments please feel free send a Private Message.
The Fisk and Crowell are both sold. The McBurnette folder is no longer for sale.
Sale closed.
Harvey McBurnette engraved folder. Stunningly beautiful knife. Desert Ironwood and engraved nickel silver.
The knife is initialed "W.S." by Harvey. I used to have the original build sheet but lost it in a move. I think he charged $60 extra to engrave the initials. I am reducing the price because of that (unless your initials happen to be "W.S"!) but they will not be seen if you display the knife with Harvey's mark showing.
Never carried or sharpened. Came with a small felt like pouch I am including.
Measurements - Overall Open: 7 1/8" Closed: 4" Blade: 3 1/8"

First up, a fine Southern Bowie by ABS Mastersmith Jerry Fisk. This is a beautiful yet simple knife. It feels fantastic in the hand. Never carried or sharpened, but not without blemish. Flaws captured as well as I can with high res photos. Comes with a Rhuana sheath in good condition, if slightly over-sized.
These are Mr. Fisk's comments on the knife via email: "That bowie was what I called a Southern Bowie style or at least that is what it developed into in this country. The bowie was made in about 88 to mid 89 during my JS period it looks like. The blade would be 5160 carbon steel, the
guard would have been german silver and the handle would be Western Maple burl. There is an internal pin holding the handle on that is heck for stout."
Measurements - Overall Length: 14 1/2" Blade: 9"

Offered at $SOLD /shipped and insured via PayPal, continental USA only.

Next we have a Damascus Bowie from ABS Mastersmith James Crowell. Substantial earlier bowie, likely a late 80s build. Good condition, not carried or sharpened that I know of. Very pretty knife but not flawless. It would be a nice example of his craft but even better being put to use by someone who needs a real cutting knife.
Comes with the original sheath.
Measurements - Overall: 14" Blade: 8 1/4"
