Are these "period pieces?" I just had a hunch they looked like something from the late 1700's or early 1800's.
 
Vlad, these two are really beautiful!! You've got a great eye for design and your "fit 'n finish" is excellent!!
 
wow, both blades are so beautiful. Wonderful work.


I will take the ebony one if it is still available, if not, I will just take the one left.

Please email me with confirmation, and I will send payment via paypal.

I didn't have in mind any particular historical period when I was making these knives. Nobody is perfect :)
