#1781 Turkish Damascus Drop Point NEW
This knife has an overall length of 7.5" and has a handle of ancient walrus ivory. The picture does not do justice to the beauty of the Turkish Damascus created by Doug Ponzi. It is a very classy package with the sheath with an ostrich skin inset.

Walnut 14.25" Kukri
A chopper you just want to swing with exhibition grade black walnut handle scales. The handle has brass mosaic pins and liner. It was forged from a leaf spring and the wood was harvested in Wisconsin several years ago. It feels great in the hand and will draw lots of attention when you wear it to the Church on Sunday.

#1776 Upswept Fighter NEW
The stabilized spalted maple handle on this 9.75" fighter is stunning. It compliments a hand forged W2 carbon steel blade that was clay-coated to create the wavy Hamon line you see on the blade. It fits your hand perfectly and has a pouch sheath with a whip snakeskin insert.
#1780 Mammoth Damascus Drop Point NEW
At the last knife show I attended I was able to pick up a couple of pieces of Damascus bar stock by the late George Worthy . This one was what he called his parquet mosaic flagstone pattern made from 5160-L6-Nickle. It is accented with scales of beautiful mammoth bark ivory with nickel silver pins.

#1781 Zircote Burl Tanto NEW
This 8.5" tanto is hollow ground from a mill file and has a handle of exhibition grade zircon wood burl. It has brass pins and a nice brown cowhide sheath. Typically tantos do not have a finger groove but I feel it helps prevent one's hand from sliding into the blade. A unique knife that locks into your hand. The picture is dark so it is difficult to appreciate. My apologies as my photo editor on the computer has not been cooperating.
