Hello All,

First I have a large bowie from a great knifemaker that we lost far too early in his career. Harvey Draper built this bowie somewhere between 1965 and 1966. It is marked Draper Ephraim, Utah. This is his No. 19 Fighting Bowie with the large 9" blade. I am told he made this model with 7", 8" and 9" blades. The overall length is 14 1/4". The handle is genuine ivory and the fittings are brass. Gorgeous knife. It is unused. Shows a few light sheath marks on the mirror polished blade. The ivory does have one check in it as seen in the pictures. It is still solid and does not move. No sheath. I will let this classic go for SOLD. Prefer a postal money order, will take paypal.

Next is a well-made hunter from long-time maker, Devon (Butch) Beaver. It measures 9" overall with a 4 5/8" blade. The blade is marked D. Beaver New River, AZ MCMXII. The roman numerals date this knife to 1992. The handle is nicely figured wood with stacked leather and brass fittings. The blade is mirror polished and shows a few light scuffs. The brass guard has a few light marks from the sheath. Overall good shape. Comes with its original handmade leather sheath. Looking to get $265 for this one. Prefer a postal money order, will take paypal.
