This is a small slip-joint folding knife with a 2 7/16" flat ground, belt satin-finish blade. Blade and spring are of 3/32" D2 steel.
The handle is Bull Horn that I collect and process myself; this one is from a Bullfight at the Plaza del Toros in Merida. This dark horn is very difficult to photograph - the color has a lot more depth to it in hand. Closed length - 3.375" (including lanyard ring) Nickel Silver liners and pins. Coin Silver escutcheon. Geometric file work with thumb serrations. Supplied with a handmade, hair-on Bull hide pocket sheath with calfskin Spanish edge lacing and a braided leather thong on the knife. $245 US (including FedEx economical insured to US or Canada. $15 extra to most of EU)
The knife opens with a medium easy pull. Backspring is flush open and closed and has no half-stop. Supplied shaving sharp.
A beautiful little knife!
I am a full time knifemaker working in Merida, Yucatan Mexico. I ship knives internationally on a regular basis via FedEx. I accept Paypal and credit cards.
I use almost exclusively local handle materials that I gather and mill or process myself. Dense tropical hardwoods as well as wild and ranched deer, cow, bull and water buffalo horns.
The silver escutcheons are made from old Mexican silver coins and are pinned through the liners. You can still see some of the surface irregularities of the coins. All of the pins are nickel silver and are hammered over and left slightly proud of the handle. The decorative file work and carving are precise and carefully done, but you can also see that it was done by hand I dont sand or polish the file-cuts.
