That's more than a knife,that's an elegant piece of art.I don't have any experience with ivory;is there any special TLC needed for those scales?
Here's some pictures of my favourite knife. It was made by Alan Wood of Cumbria, England.5" blade from twist damasteel and 9¾" overall length. The handle is elephant ivory held with slim red/black liners and gold pins. The bolster is 925 Sterling silver and has been engraved by Simon Lytton. Definitely a keeper which is why I decided on having my initials engraved. It has a brown leather belt sheath and I have carried and used it a few times, mainly for light cutting around the kitchen or hazel and blackthorn sticks. It's my favourite fixed blade and the Sebenza is my most used locker. Finally, an old James Barber ERA slippie is nearly always in my pocket, but it is swapped around sometimes with the Ray & Jeff Cover slippies.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)Mark
