The ultimate safe queen, as it's literally been in a safe for 16 years now. Was the true grail knife of my uncle, a knife collector before I even knew what that meant, for many years. I remember him showing it to me with great pride; the mother-of-pearl scales front and back; set against damascus bolsters top and bottom; the AMAZING file work on both blade and backspacer alike; and a genuine gemstone RUBY... just press it, and a friggin' damascus blade flies out full-auto! Incredible, incredibly impressive work of art. I understand that Bill King of Florida made it in the prime of his career... today Bill is in his 80's, still making blades. This has got to be one of his finest pieces of his entire career.
My uncle passed away ten years ago and this was the one and only thing he left for me in his Last Will and Testament. I have a huge amount of sentimentality for it... but cash is needed right now, and so will let it pass to another appreciator of fine art. I've heard of King's of this quality going in the $3000's... but I need a quick sale, so I'm thinking $2500 would be a fair price? <<WITHDRAWN>>
