[infinitekazoo]

Set of 4 VERY RARE Bowie knives made by the late Larry Brandstetter from Paducah, KY made sometime in the mid 1970's to early 80's. They have been kept in a glass showcase since purchase.

It's extremely hard to come across his works these days.

The handles of one are made of exotic wood and the next blade is mother of pearl and the other two are ivory made prior to the 1986 ivory ban.
