[Steel Sprocket]

Hello,
I am putting up for sale a pair of very desirable knives from my collection:

1: Tai Goo who is known for his unique approach to artistic renderings in knife making produces neo-tribal knives. This is his his Voodoo Ripper. This was a collaboration with Wild Rose Trading Co. who made the fantastic sheath. The blade is 1084 carbon steel, 7 inches with a handle made from stag Cholla cactus. Fittings include bronze pommel and bronze wire wrap.
The sheath us composed of two leathers; cow hide over deer hide with cobra skin inlays, copper wire wrap and iron tack embellishments. There are two carved, pierced skulls sewn through snake vertebra and copper spheres attaching to the sheath.
I am the original owner.
**price $1,250.**Reduced $1,050Shipping and PayPal fees included.



2: Joe Yeates has produced many great Bowies but, to my knowledge, is no longer
making knives of this type. The Bowie offered is an example of the workmanship he is known for.

Crossguard: S-shaped stainless
Handle: Presentation walnut round with stainless and scalloped brass pommel.

That's what I heard. That's a physically hard business to stay in and for whatever reason he stopped working we are lucky to have his knives that remain.
Thanks for the head's up.

Hi, I'm giving you a little info on the Yeate's knife that you have. It is called the "Sequin Bowie" knife. I had the priviage of visiting Joe Yeates on March 6th, 2008, yes the same date the Alamo fell in 1836!!!! He is retired now and no longer makes knives, sad to say. But I do nwn the "Iron Mistress' knife the say style that was used in the Alan Ladd movie of the same name.I will NEVER let this knive go, it has so much historical value to it. Daniel J. Ynacay
