This is a small slip-joint folding knife with a 2-1/8" flat ground, belt satin finish pen-blade. Blade and spring are of 1/16" 440C steel.

The handle is Yucatecan Red Deer Horn that I process myself. It's got some beautiful "popcorn" texture and a very rich, warm brown color - really nice horn! Closed length - 3-1/8" Brass liners with Nickel Silver pins. Silver 1926 ten-centavo escutcheon. File worked thumb grooves. Handmade, black goat skin pocket sheath. (SOLD) (including FedEx economical insured to US or Canada. $15 extra to EU)

The knife opens with an 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.

Thanks for looking

Thanks guys. Corey, I've been working with some great horn……. here's a couple of pics of a recent similar, slightly larger knife, with some equally beautiful Red Deer scales:

A member asked about the relative size of the pen knife for sale. So here are a couple of shots "in hand":
