I really like this knife. A beautifully understated Damascus, one of a kind cross cut mammoth, the bronze gives it a terrific heft and a backspacer that is nothing short of remarkable. I'm selling this piece just a couple weeks after I purchased it from Alan because it's too small for my tastes and I won't end up carrying it. I hope whoever grabs this enjoys it like I have.
Here's Alan's description and photos. Never cut or carried.
$OLD1,050 including fees and shipping.
"overall length 6 1/2
blade 2 3/4 tip to scales
steel Rob Thomas Stainless damascus
grind - full flat
scales crosscut mammoth ivory w/ black g10 spacer
bolsters - bronze texture tech
liners - anodized, file work & textured titanium
back spacer double rope file work, anodized titanium
thumb stud - hand turned bronze inset with handle material
screws 24k gold plated
I had the pleasure of spending last weekend at the Guadalupe Forge Hammer-in hosted by Johnny Stout & Harvey Dean. The instructor which I spent most of the weekend with was Bill Ruple. One of the many topics he shared with us, was his file work. The pattern on the back spacer is one which is inspired by Bill that he does on the back springs of two bladed knives, it is basically rope file work side by side pointing towards the center. It creates a pretty cool visual effect when rotated.
Bearing pivot for a fast and smooth operation. Nice detent, strong secure lock up and zero blade play in any direction."
I also have another Alan Davis Mammoth Gent's folder listed here.
