That all being said, this will be a somewhat picture heavy listing so please be sure you want to purchase the knife to save us both time.
First up:
Frank Niro art knife, the high grade black lip mother of pearl has Frank's signature fluting, really amazing work. The knife is near perfect however there is a hair line crack about 1/8th or a 1/4 of an inch in length where one of the scales meets the bolster, it is not noticeable unless you look for it as it literally is the width of a hair (if you do see it it actually looks like a little tiny hair).
Other than that it is mint, the blade is not sharp as this is an art knife. I got this knife directly from Frank and was the first owner.
Knife has been fondled but never ever used, it has been a safe queen except occasionally taken out for admiration.
It comes with a pouch, a spec sheet from Frank, and an info sheet on the Seymchan meteorite from Russia that was used for the bolsters, below is what the spec sheet states:
Length Closed: 4 1/2"
Blade Length: 3 1/2"
Blade thickness: .102
Blade Steel: Rob Calcinore multi bar mosaic Damascus etched and heat coloured
Liners: .040" thick 6AL4V titanium, file worked, jewelled and anodized.
Back spacer: 416 stainless with file work, two abolone pearl inlays, six coloured authentic diamonds inset and stippling
Bolsters: Seymchan meteroite from Russia, etched and heat coloured
Bolster screws: 0 x 80 24 caret gold plated
Scales: black lip pearl with flutes. "Franks swallow tail pattern"
Scale screws: 0 x 80 24 caret gold plated
Thumb studs: titanium file worked and with diamond inset
This knife is $950 paypal gift or add 4%, I will cover shipping and insurance. I am pretty firm on that as I am already taking a hit and at this price it is a steal.
Next up is a Steve Kelly Lightspeed with "Super Conductor" Bolsters (this material is becoming scarce), LS Carbon Fiber Scales, Spacer and Clip, CPM 154 blade and comes with pouch
It has been a safe queen, never used/cut anything only fondled and admired a couple times. I am the first owner.
The knife is $575 paypal gift or add 4%, I will cover shipping and insurance.
Next up is a George Muller gentleman's damascus blade, with damascus bolsters. The damscus blade is somewhat polished, I am not sure what steel or make up it is. There is slight patina a what looks to be very very slight pitting on some of the blade. When I saw George at one of the knife shows in NJ I brought the knife there and asked him what the scale is he told me he it is mammoth bark. I had bought this knife from paragon sports in manhattan and I do not know if I am the first owner, I just really loved the knife, and I hate to sell it.
Anybody buying this knife may want to make it a user for the reasons stated above due to some of the aging.
That all being said I am willing to part with this knife for $445paypal gift or add 4%, I will cover shipping and insurance.. The knife is not mint, and there is also a slight slight blemish on the anodized blue backspacer maybe the size of a pin head it is whitish in color it might possibly be a slight nick since I was not able to get it out with a microfiber cloth.
(Note the comp would not allow me to add the pictures of George Muller I will try to get them up when I can)
Lastly is a Don Cowles Ruby Short Cut, it is polished with some kind of stag scales I believe and a ruby inset on the ricasso. This is a semi custom knife, there is no return for this knife. He takes the production blade and insets the ruby sharpens it and adds the knife scales.
This knife is $SOLD paypal fees included along with shipping included. Again there is no return for this knife.
