Bought this John Howser a few years ago from Vince, here is his description: Its got a sheepsfoot blade & very good looking mammoth ivory. An exceptional knife from John. Exceptional fit & finish. Perfect medium pull. Zero blade play & sweet action ! Blade centers perfect closed. Killer cut in swedge is real nice & symetrical. "Schrade type" federal inlaid ss shield is pinned. Integral bolster - liner construction (one milled piece) Mill relieved liners. Bolsters are fluted. Domed ss pins. Measures 3.5" closed,6.25" open. Blade is 2-3/4" measured tip to bolster,with a 2.5" cutting edge. This blade is hollow ground ATS-34 ss,and has a hand rubbed finish. This is a lot of knife for the asking. Excellent unused condition. This 'barehead" version (no rear cap bolster).John does not do many in this style. He usually always has a cap on the knife,while not overly heavy,this style is certainly lighter
I have not carried or used the knife since purchase. John has since passed, but he built great knives.
I am asking $400 $310 now $290 all fees included (reasonable offers considered). Will ship this by PRIORITY MAIL to U.S. addresses only. Will come with a lined zipper pouch. First Ill take it followed by PM or e-mail.
