SCOTT SAWBY BIG TEXAS TOOTHPICK.
This is an AMAZING piece of art!!
ABOUT THE KNIFE:
ARTIST: Scott Sawby
BLADE SIZE: 4 1/2”
OVERALL LENGTH: 10 3/8”
BLADE MATERIAL: Ultra Mirror Polished Stainless Steel
HANDLE: Beautiful Colorful Mammoth
BOLSTERS: Mirror Polished Stainless Steel.
Sheath: Lined pouch
$1200 Paypal F&F shipped; 1275 Shipped paypal G&S
COMMENTS: Scott makes some of the best folders I have ever seen. Utilizing his patented “Self-Lock” and ultra-fine tolerances the fit and finish is second to none. Soctt prides himself on such a tight fit that when open, you cannot even see the seam between the blade and the backspacer. The Mammoth has amazing Character and Color. This knife was made to my specifications and drop dead gorgeous and MINT. The only marks are finger smudges. Guess I didn’t wipe down as good as I thought J (sure is hard to get good pictures) This knife is truly exquisite. I can barely bring myself to sell but I am thinning the collection and freeing up money for other stuff
ABOUT THE MAKER:
Scott Sawby – Biography
I was born in North Dakota, but spent most of my youth in Illinois. I went west to attend college; and after graduating and a stint in the army, I returned to Utah State University to pursue a Master’s degree in biology. It was there in 1970 I began making knives as a hobby. It was difficult to get started back then, as there were no books on knifemaking and very few makers around to get advice from. I teamed up with Steve Mullin and we went north to see Bernard Sparks in Dingle, Idaho. Bernie was one of the original custom knifemakers and a founding member of the Guild. He pointed us in the right direction, showed us what a belt sander was, and we went back to Logan to construct one. For the next few years we made knives either full or part time depending on what other employment was available.
In 1976 Steve and I bought adjoining pieces of land in North Idaho, built log homes on them and became professional knifemakers. Our first shop was built of logs. We eventually outgrew it and in 1983 I sold my half to Steve and built a shop of my own nearby where I work to this day.
My avocations include hunting, fishing, and flying my RV-6A, a two-place aluminum aircraft I built from a kit over a 3½ year period in my knife shop.
The engraving section of the gallery is in loving memory of my wife Marian who passed away on September 23, 2015.. J
