** SPF ** Raymond Richard shear steel & cocobolo skinner. An amazing and rare piece. The shear steel was something Ray had a single piece of and when it was gone, that was all there was -- No more. The steel figure that you see in the pictures is the grain of the shear steel. It is not damascus layers, not patina or other surface coloring, nothing but the soul of the steel shining through.
This knife is new, never used. Sharpened once on a diamond rod.
In spite of the non-traditional-western handle shape, this is one of the most comfortable knives I've ever held. That round butt of the cocobolo handle settles into the pocket of your palm like it was coming home where it belongs.
Steel: shear steel, reportedly fished out of the Willamette River
Blade: 3-15/16" from tip to bolster
OAL: 8"
Handle: cocobolo, let's call it a semi-Persian shape
Fittings: wrought iron
Sheath: heavy-duty leather pouch sheath
I'm selling this knife because it is just too rare and pretty a piece for me to ever use. I think I paid Ray $425 for this one, so am selling at a considerable loss.
My loss = Your gain!!
