Knife 1 Large Tanto (8.5" Blade 14.25 OAL) Inspection. The rating is based on my inspection. I by no means am an expert. I do not think these knives were used (except fondling). They certainly were not abused. Knifemaker: Tilton Bowen

Knife 2 is a Kenneth Bengtsson (Handle / Sheath) / Lars Petterson (Blade) Knife.
In researching this knife I have found that it is common for one person to make the blade and another person to make the handle sheath in Scandinavian countries. The handle is made from Masur Birch, Buffalo horn, laminated steel and amber. This knife has never been used, just displayed. The original tag is still on the knife and the original SRP is $270.
I am asking $OLD including all paypal and shipping fees.
Terms (Thanks RevDevil)
- Overall 8.5/10
- Sheath: 7/10
- scuffs and scrapes probable could be reduced with treating the leather.
- Handle (Pakkawood) 6/10
- A few of minor scuffs / light scratches
- Along the butt of the handle there are 2 chips (1/8" x 1/16") This is the reason why I rated the handle so low. Pictures included. Note all three are the same area just at different zoom levels. Probably could be resolved by putting an edge bevel on the butt of the knife (like the sides already have). This is on the Bowen Blades Stamp side (not the TB stamp side).
- Blade (Edge) 9.0/10
- no dents or nicks. The edge polish appears to have some variations. I think a light sharpening / stropping would resolve.
- Tip is pristine
- Blade (non edge surface) 9/10
- The D2 has a nice uniform patina to it. The blade is ~3/16" at the spine.
- No dings dents or scratches Visible.
- All engraving very sharp.
- $PF including paypal / CONUS shipping. Feel free to make an offer.
