Maringer Soul Seeker masterpiece

[BenR.T.]

I don't consider myself a collector really, I just have a few pieces from makers I call friends.
So how I ended up owning such an epic pc of knife history is beyond me!

This was made by Tom in 1984 and he called it his "Soul Seeker". It is numbered #255-20.
Being his 255th blade and 20th sword. OAL is 38 1/4" w/ a 26 1/4" blade. It is a full take down with a stainless wire wrapped handle. The Blade is D2. It has a wood core, leather wrapped sheath with a kydex hanger.
I doubt I'll own it forever, but it's cool to have for now.

Sorry for the mediocre pictures, no way it will fit in my light box!!
