Hello,
Just ordered this lockback. Some wear and tear but I think OK considering the knife is 33 years young. Engraving was done by Jon Robyn. Opinions are welcome...also if anyone has an input regarding who is represented in the engravings it would be very much appreciated!

Warren's work will always remain as a top standard. He was a great maker! Look at those lines and build.

Possibly my favorite engraver is Jon Robyn. At this point in his career he can do ANY of the styles. This particular piece shows how good he was as a VERY young artist.

Good thread. Congratulations.
 
I am thinking based on Jon Robyn designs it may be Ares from Greek Mythology. Perhaps it resembles an Aztec or Mayan warrior. I dunno pure speculation

Excellent acquisition!! As a fan or lockbacks as well, that is a beauty.
Sorry I can’t help you out more.
 
Nice lines. The armor and capes look like Greek or Roman Mythology.

Are the handles ivory? Clean and nicely fitted for 33 years old.
