O/A 340mm (13.38") Blade 215mm(8.5") Damascus @ cca 59HRC ( Bohler K720 and K600 ,stock forged by Roman Privrel )
Black Walnut burl,Brass/Bronze,Copper,Sterling Silver, Sapphires ...tang through, glue-less full take down construction, all 100% hand made (right down to the hinges on the case)me being the sole author...there is over 400 hand made pieces in this composition, not a single one was pre-fabricated, it's all the good old fashioned hand work done on a bench/ in a vise /or on a knee...literally
This is a true one of a kind, there just isn't another one like that, period ,and I never make two knives the same ...almost 4 months of work went into making it, there's a lot of details that pics just won't do justice to, as well as some tricky things like hidden locking mechanism on the hermetically sealed case...which btw is carved/and hollowed out from one solid piece of seasoned walnut (10+ years I can guarantee ,probably more),as well as the take-down construction (including the scroll inlays on the sheath,the little flowers in the heads of the scrolls are actually screws holding it in ,anchored in threaded bases counter sunk in the sheath) etc......this is a piece destined for a very discerning collector looking for something special for their collection...looking for 6k OBO ,I'll be more than happy to answer any questions or anything at all,just send me a line at bccustomknives@hotmail.com
Cheers
