Greetings all,
The buyer of this knife likely doesn't need to be told anything about it, but I'll tell you anyway.
Nick Wheeler's knives are as close to perfection as the human hand and eye could ever hope to accomplish. If you don't believe me, ask someone who owns one.
The knives themselves are comparatively few in number and rarely make an appearance on the secondary market.
This particular piece may be one of the finest fighting bowies ever crafted. Joe Paranee knows a thing or three about fighting knives and the joint design here is quite simply exceptional. Power, speed and balance.
And there is no better compliment to a superb fighting bowie than a sheath by THE MAN himself, Paul Long.
I'll double-check the measurements, but 10 / 15 is close to right.
The handle is a premium piece of Koa, with all the shimmering chatoyance that you would expect, but that a still photo can't capture.
Price is US$1595 which includes shipping and Paypal for US and Canadian buyers. I will ship internationally to an established member, but it will be at additional and likely significant cost (sorry, but there just isn't a way to ship overseas both safely and inexpensively these days).
As usual, I'm happy to answer questions, but the first "I'll take it!" gets the knife. Reach me quickest by email: pinnocr@hotmail.com
Oh - and it seems that whenever I post a knife for sale someone invariably asks for the blade thickness at several points from ricasso to tip. Sorry to disappoint, but my electronic calipers are kaput.
Thanks for reading and on to the pics:
