This knife is styled after a Jacob Schintz Bowie from the late 1800's. If you've never heard of Jacob Schintz, he was one of Michael Price's contemporaries in old San Francisco. The knife features a frame handle with takedown construction. Even the tang is finished. :eek: The handle is beautiful Desert Ironwood I've had stashed away over 10 years. The frame and peened pins are nickel silver, the guard and finial are heat patinated wrought iron, and the liners and guard collar are heat patinated copper.

Additional specs
Steel is ATS-34 hardened to 59 RC
Flat ground with 1000 grit hand-rubbed satin finish
Blade is 6 1/2" and knife is 11 1/2" overall

$675 w/o sheath shipped in the US. Sheath options are available at cost from Southpaw Leatherworks, if interested. International shipping at actual cost. I accept PayPal, MO or check. Funds must clear prior to shipping.

Thanks for looking!
