Sold: Burt Foster, Master Smith Small Damascus Integral Utility Knife

Blade is about 3" long and made up of 01 and 15n20 steel with an OAL of 6 3/4".

I got this in early October from Gary W. Graley. He bought it off of Burts belt at a knife show. I had Gary ship the knife to Burt to go over it and make sure it was like New.

”I bought it off his belt and took it as is, so the sheath is a little worn but
that was ok. It came with a neat sheath, he had seen this design before and
it works pretty well, basically one piece of leather wrapped around and around
and then snaps onto the front of the sheath, if you need to take it off to go
into a store, you just unsnap and it slides off.”

Original Thread by Gary with details of the knife and purchase:

These are the beautiful photos that Gary took and show the knife before it was sent to Burt for a clean up.

Here’s some details of the sheath.

“As you can see, most of the knife is held inside, there is no guard to cam lock onto
so it relies on friction of the handle, plus when on the belt the belt pulls the sheath
around your body and that also adds some retention to the knife inside.”

“It's one big piece of leather with a welt and a small piece of leather inside to cover the snap”

“Burt uses a sewing machine, in this case, one side has white thread, the other had black thread”
