"Work is creativity accompanied by the comforting realization that one is bringing forth something really good and necessary, with the conviction that a sudden, arbitrary cessation would cause a sensitive void, produce a loss."
Our scrimshaw Fossil Ivory
Boot Knife is a classic western boot knife. It has a 3 5/8 inch long blade which is 1 1/16 inch wide. Overall length is 7 3/8 inches. The blade is cryogenically hardened to maximize the martensitic phase for increased toughness.
We added Graded Crystalline Fossil Walrus Ivory handles, an end cap of nickel silver and six nickel silver and brass mosaic pins, all of which also make this a strikingly handsome knife. (Click on picture for larger view.)
Personalize this collector's heirloom piece - We will hand etch up to 7 letters on the Fossil Ivory at no extra charge. This completely handmade knife doubles as a desk letter opener and comes with a padded storage case. It will make a magnificent gift for any collector or knife enthusiast.
