Description
An assortment of custom-style knives featuring fixed blades and one folding lockback knife. The fixed-blade knives include various profiles such as cleavers, drop points, skinners, and trailing points. Blades are constructed from Damascus steel with characteristic watered patterns or repurposed steel files with visible file teeth. The handles are crafted from diverse materials including vibrant multicolored stabilized wood, resin composites, bone, and stacked leather, often accented with brass guards and pommels. Several handles are further detailed with inset mosaic pins. The collection is accompanied by hand-stitched leather sheaths in black and brown tones, featuring decorative treatments such as basketweave stamping and embossed reptilian textures. One black leather sheath features an impressed snap button with a circular emblem containing a central five-pointed star and the legible characters STATE OF, while the remaining text is not legible as a name or location. No other maker marks, signatures, or stamps are visible on the blades or handle components. Fixed-blade knives range in overall length from approximately 7 inches to 10 inches. Folding knife measures approximately 4 inches in length when closed.
