This is a slip-joint folding knife with a 2.25" hollow ground, belt satin finish blade. Blade and spring are of 3/32" 440C stainless steel. Handle is "bark" water buffalo horn from Campeche, Mexico. Closed length - 3.5" Brass liners with Nickel Silver pins. Silver 1925 ten-centavo escutcheon. Vine pattern file worked blade with thumb grooves. Handmade, hair-on bull hide leather pouch, stitched with calfskin Spanish edge braiding. SOLD (including FedEx economical insured to US or Canada)
The knife opens with a medium-easy pull, and can be pinched open. Backspring is flush open and closed and has no half-stop. Supplied shaving sharp.
I am a full time knifemaker working in Merida, Yucatan Mexico. I ship knives internationally on a regular basis via FedEx. I accept Paypal and credit cards.
I use almost exclusively local handle materials that I gather and mill or process myself. Dense tropical hardwoods as well as wild and ranched deer, cow, bull and water buffalo horns.
The silver escutcheons are made from old Mexican silver coins and are pinned through the liners. You can still see some of the surface irregularities of the coins. All of the pins are nickel silver and are hammered over and left slightly proud of the handle. The decorative file work and carving are precise and carefully done, but you can also see that it was done by hand – I don’t sand or polish the file-cuts.
