LAKE bowie knife

I spoke to Ron this afternoon, and he says this is the first knife he made. He made it in November 1965, as a Chrstmas present for a friend. Carbon steel blade, brass mounts. Originally unmarked. Later Ron cleaned it up for the original owner, and then Gold plated the brass so it would not tarnish. That was when he engraved his name on the spine -- using a pantograph engraver with a diamond tool, since the blade is hard.

It is very 1960s.

Hello Bernard, I come back to this fabulous first Ron LAKE knife for which you gave me informations many years ago. I might sell it to a collector aware of his great value . Would you know someone ?

You are replying to a 21 year old thread, Bernard almost never comes here anymore although you can probably contact him on his website.

I don't, I'm afraid. That doesn't mean that they aren't out there of course it just means I don't know them. We could talk about what happens to valuable collections when all the collectors for them have gone to that great swap meet in the sky, but I don't know if that applies here... And is probably best left to another thread. Good luck with your quest.
