I tried the marble dresser top with a 100 watt lamp combined with flash and here's what I got. The blades really are steel and not gold.

top -- I love the handle on this knife -- top bone, aft horn. File work as shown below. 13 inches and 11 ounces. Beautifully fullered. Is that called a clip point? Sharp edge topside for about 3 inches. I assumed pommel is silver alloy -- non-magnetic. Very unusual guard with a thumb purchase albeit a little too small for American thumbs. Done by Shanker, the Whiz Kid, and a very nice job it is. $125 delivered to your door for this one of a kinder.

bottom -- 11.75 inche and 8.5 ounces by Amtrak Kami, Raju Rasaili. Good work. Handle looks like it's been worked on a lathe but we don't have a lathe so he's done this by hand and a very even job it is. Nice handle. Blade has top edge about 2 inches. Scroolwork both sides. Beer opener on topside. Brass guard. Price is $75 for this one of a kind.

Call or email.

Still unpacking yesterdays shipment. Who is waiting for an M43?

Glad to have you back!

No fair, Uncle!!!! Gotta take a walk . Have to have some money to come to the convention! :)
 
Hmmm..... Interesting!

I like that unusual handle style on the second one. Is that comfortable to grip and wield? Looks nifty.

Kev.
 
Bottom knife looks like one Sher made a while back. I believe our local "Wildman" got that one then.
I believe it was called a "tiger killer" or something along those lines. I don't remember the older one having the bottle opener cho tho'.


It does look nice.
:)
 
Absolutely Stunning!

Nice pics, Uncle. The marble background really looks great.

Definitly a pair of interesting knives. I kinda like the top one as well.

What gets me is the way the sarkis put the straps on the sheaths. They're placed so that if you have one on your belt, right handed, any brush you might be walking through is gonna unsnap
it.:rolleyes: :(
 
The sarkis are crazy and so is Pala. He said to lower the prices and get rid of these. New price:

top -- $75
bottom -- $50

Call or email.
 
Top finally gone. Pala said to lower price of bottom to $40. He's bored and wants to do some packing.
