Rare Tim Zowada Bowie, Burke Jr. and Sr. Tactical Slipjoint collaboration.

[John Johnson]

Here's a bowie from a very hard to find maker, and a legend at that in the knife world. Tim very rarely makes a knife any more, but does make shaving razors starting at $500 to around $1100 bucks a pop. And worth every penny! It's a Tim Zowada Bowie. Blade length is 9.5" with an OAL of about 15". Spine is 1/4" with very little taper to the point and an unsharpened clip. Steel type is unknown, but whatever it is Tim's heat treatment will be absolutely perfect for that steel. Stainless guard and I believe a cocobolo or ironwood handle. Nice deep, dark color with some coppery chatoyance to it when the light hits it right. Condition wise, it appears unused, although there are a few pin head sized freckles on both sides of the blade as well as some very light horizontal scratches from sheath insertion and removal. Excellent, extremely well built crossdraw leather sheath with a small gouge on the face of it. Perfect retention of the knife while inside it. Price is SOLD shipped via USPS Priority insured. Foreign shipping is no problem, but it will cost a few dollars more to help cover the increased cost. Paypal preferred, but any method of payment short of chickens or pocket lint accepted. Oh, no trades. If you need other (really bad) pics or have any questions let me know. Better pics will be posted tomorrow when I have daylight...yeah, they're awful I know! And thanks for looking.

Next up is a Burke Sr. and Jr. tactical slipjoint. Very, very awesome one off slipjoint...enough so that it's rekindled a love of folders that I haven't had in years. Blade is 3.4" of 154CM that's .156" thick ground by Jim Jr., with the titanium handles and construction done by Jim Sr. Absolutely impeccable workmanship with a strong, crisp half stop along with the closed and open position. Handle has a very subtle machined pattern on the scales. Pins and backspring are absolutely flush with said scales. I did manage to put a small scuff on the right handle scale that you can see in the pics. Not the best pics, but lighting and camera were not playing well together this overcast evening. Comes with a classy ray skin slip sheath. Carried a couple of times by me, but unused otherwise. Price is SOLD pending payment, shipped via USPS, and foreign shipping not a problem. Any questions, or more pics just let me know. Thanks!
