A recent move has been costly so I'm selling a few of my custom knives.
Terry Primos hunter. approx. 4 1/2" guard to tip, aprox. 8 3/4" overall.
I believe the steel is 1084. I'm pretty sure the handle material is ebony.
Visible hamon, a rustic finish and the peen marks(?) running the length of the spine. There was a small error in the glue up and the blade is not exactly centered.
Also come with a Rowe sheath.
This knife has some scuff marks on the guard but the blade is unused so presumably it came from Terry this way.
Asking SPF shipped
(there is oil on the blade in these photos)
Next is a custom I thought I would keep forever but alas...
This is from a British Columbia custom knife maker Wally Schoenberger made in the early eighties
He used jet turbine steel - similar to ATS - 34
Background from the guy I bought it off of:
The maker is WOLFGANG SCHOENBERGER, or Wally to most people. He lived in Port Moody until the late 80’s and then moved to Cranbrook. He was a friend of the family. A machinist by trade from Germany, he made mainly custom hunting knives, as well as some specialty scalpels for eye surgery, and at least one movie knife. Funny, we never noticed the uneven grind. Wally was always exact... ...This was my dads hunting knife. He bragged that he skinned a moose with it without sharpening it.
I have two knives from Wally and his knives hold a very good edge for stainless steel, similar to ATS 34 or better. He had an outstanding reputation with hunters.
It is exceptionally sharp, taking an edge unlike any knife I've had. As mentioned the grinds are a little uneven which really surprised the seller as he said Wally was known for his perfectionism.
The knife is quite heavy with great balance just at the first pin. It really sits nicely in the hand and has a great profile for skinning. Handle is Cocobolo. Asking SPF shipped for this
