This is indeed a rare opportunity.
Russ is reknowned for his meticulously clean work, wonderful shimmering Damascus and classic, timeless designs. Very infrequently do his pieces hit the open market, and far less often something like this.
This knife adds a touch of innovation to the virtues above - bringing to life a classic Loveless-style fighter, but rendered in Damascus, mammoth ivory and with a FORGED INTEGRAL DOUBLE GUARD.
The blade is 7" long with an OAL of 12". Sheath - also done in the classic Loveless style - is by the maker to complete a stunning sole authorship package.
Following the pro pic are some images from the construction of the knife. Note the lengths Russ went to in using an individual sleeve for each pin - to mitigate any stress on the ivory.
Price is US$1950 which INCLUDESknife, sheath, padded case, shipping and Paypal - just ONE number to plug in and click - no surprises.
Shipping is included only for the US and Canada - I will ship overseas to an established forum member, but it is at additional (and ridiculously substantial) cost. Sorry - not much I can do about our crazy overseas shipping rates.
Happy to answer questions as always, but the fist "I'll take it!" get's this exceptional piece.

You can PM me as well, but sometimes the notifications are slow.
Thanks for reading and looking.
