Utility knife- collectors knife. Blade is custom Tony damascus 8 inches x 1 ½ x 1/16th thick. Forged with small amounts of decorative copper and brass along the back (so does not effect the strength or cutting ability) Custom etched eagle head on one side, wolf head on the other side. Handle is coral (dyed, as real red coral like this is not legal). End cap is purple Charlite stone from Russia. Mexican opal inlay has nice flash of color- good quality opal. Guard is fossil walrus ivory. All the materials fit like they were meant to be together. Coral handle has nice fit to the hand. No knife anything close to being like this. Should stand out proudly in any collection. $950
Sometimes a knife has an energy of it's own and 'wishes to be.' I can approach my materials with a blank mind and let the knife develop. When it is done I feel like an observer seeing it for the first time myself - as the instrument, not the designer. This knife is much like that. What is it used for? It can be- something out of the future like a Star Trek kind of creation, coming through the star gate in a dream. A futuristic fighting knife? It's 'story'? Well, oddly, the one who now acquires it may not even be the final owner it is made for. It might go to some little old lady using it for a bread knife-later confiscated during the revolution, available to …… (?) like X-caliber. It's power locked until the rightful owner of it picks it up. 100- 1,000 years from now. For now, held in trust. I do not know and it is not my roll to know. I simply followed instructions as was told. It is… whatever you want it to be. It's well put together, capable of many things.
Best way to pay if sure you want it is to go to my web site and use the pay pal shop cart. This knife atg the top of the page.
