Rick Dunkerley is well known for his eleborate folders; this is a prime example named Buffalo Skulls.
The mosaic damascus blade and bolsters were forged from carbon steels. Both depict detailed buffalo skulls forged directly into the steel. A citrine thumb stud lends elegance. The blade is perfectly centered and has silky smooth action. Rick chose exhibition grade ancient walrus ivory scales in mottled cream, caramel and green tones. The ivory has been dovetailed to the bolsters for a perfect fit. 15N20 carbon steel liners have been hand fileworked and the damascus backbar is fileworked, both inside and out, as well. Even the screws have been hand fileworked and heat blued. The blade length is 3.15 inch and the total length is 7.20 inch.
My asking price is $2,000; that is well below makers cost. The knife is in Europe and I will ship to most places. Standard shipping (equivalent to USPS) with limited insurance is included in the price. Buyer bears risk unless they opt for more secure shipping via UPS or Fedex, additional cost depends on shipping address. Payment via bank transfer or PayPal (add 3%).
Any questions please PM or email me.
Thanks,
Marcel
