    Stats

    Length - 180mm

    Steel - O1

    Hardness - Rc60-61

    Handle Style - Western

    Handle Materials - Buffalo horn with G10 spacers

    I wanted to do something different, something - unique, on this one so I went with all buffalo horn for the handle. This knife is for the gent who enjoys more class than flash, for someone who appreciates simple (good) looks along with function.[​IMG]

    The buffalo has streaking throughout showing some bold lines on the top and bottom with more subtle wispy streaking down the sides.

    This knife drove me nuts with trying to capture it in pictures - dust, reflections, bad lighting, argh! I hope that these pics suffice.


    Price - $525 (shipping included to USA - international to pay actual costs)

    If you're interested in purchasing this knife please contact via PM or email along with your Paypal email address (for the invoice). If international, please specify country.

    Thanks for looking!

    Dave

    Good Gracious, Dave. That handle looks like glass. You are doing some amazing work.

    Thanks Sharon. I have to say that it wasn't the easiest handle to make pretty but the extra work came out nice so I'm happy.
     
  4. Somehow your makers mark reminds me of Maserati and this particular knife in fact does looks like some expensive sports car. Nice work, Dave! Really nice work.

    Love that handle. Smooth as glass but I bet has great "grip" in the kitchen.
