This is a slip-joint folding knife with a 2.25" flat ground, belt satin finish blade. Blade and spring are of 3/32" 440C stainless steel. The handle is Bull Horn I collected from the bullfights at the Plaza de Toros in Merida, Mexico. Closed length - 3.5" Nickel Silver liners with Nickel Silver pins. Silver 1925 ten-centavo escutcheon. Geometric 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. $15 extra to EU)
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.
The horn on this knife came from a bull fought by the Spanish "rejoneador" Pablo Hermosa de Mendoza. A rejoneador fights from horseback - and Pablo Hermosa de Mendoza is considered the best in the world today. I've included a photo from the day of the fight. The horn is backed with 23 karat gold leaf - in the areas where the horn is translucent, the gold gives some added depth and life to the horn.
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 dont sand or polish the file-cuts.
