Hi,
I bought this from Don Fogg, who's Jimmy's friend and neighbor, a while back. It's a classic Fikes tanto, It's 10" with a 5" blade, chisel ground and a faux hamon (bead blasted). The handle is crod-wrapped with a Turkish knot.
Jimmy is a legendary maker, and his knives are pure unobtainium. He was one of the pionneers of the US bladesmithing tradition.
I am pricing this at $600 + shipping. As always, you have 7 days to return the knife to me for full refunds minus shipping and transaction costs. PayPal is greatly preferred, however, I will take MO too.
If interested, email me of respond to this thread: j.delage@gmail.com
