Here's a tour de force from Siska:
Jim Siska Subhilt in Rados Turkish Damascus & ivory
- 10-1/2" Rados Turkish Twist damascus blade. 16" OAL. Balances with finger in the blade groove ahead of the hilt. 1/4" stock.
- Blued Rados turkish twist hilt, subhilt, pommel, and fineal
- One piece Fossilized walrus ivory handle, in a beautiful caramel color with just a hint of a pinkish hue, which indicates that this tusk fossilized near gold while morphing into a fossil.
- Sheath is a simple, but quality smooth black leather, and it comes inside a nice nylon zippered case.
- Absolutely stunning example of Siska's prowess with the double hollow ground, recurve fighter pattern he is so famous for. Siska is one of the very top subhilt makers extant, and this is a top shelf example of his ability.
- The Rados Turkish twist deserves special mention. The billett for this knife was well north of $1500 I was told by the dealer (and he'd know). Rados turkish twist is in a class by itself. No one does this pattern tighter or with better contrast in my experience. It's a complex, time consuming pattern, and the etch is unbelievable. And for Siska to hot blue the same Turkish twist for the hilt, subhilt, pommel and fineal is the ultimate. Amazing steel, amazing knife. You don't know how hard this post is to write and actually hit "Submit New Thread". Gulp.
- $2995 => $2850 plus actual shipping & insurance costs. We'll need to do a USPS Money Order or a Cashier's Check for this one. Paypal fees would be too much to stomach.
- Absolutely no overseas or out-of-country shipments on this one, no exceptions. I will only ship to an address in the USA.
- Buyers must be 18 years of age.
- Will ship this one Fedex 2nd day to minimize exposure to vagaries and the elements.
