1 problem with Kizlyar knives: I found that both Kizlyar knives have a backlash (when in scabbards).

This is on it's way: Bill Herndon knife


6 3/4" nickel Damascus steel blade, 12 1/4" overall length
Blade has a 4" mokume inlay


Cast bronze hilt
African blackwood handle with fossil walrus ivory collar and pommel
With matching felt lined African blackwood sheath and a custom felt lined wood storage box
Made in the early 1990's, excellent condition (there is staining in the mokume insert in the blade)

John.......That is a gorgeous hand crafted knife. The craftsmanship is exceptional, even the notch in the sheath for the point on the crossguard.

Very nice workmanship on the knife. I am a big fan of Damascus blades.

Thanks Dan, That's was one thing I actually hadn't noticed yet.

Late breaking news: I just ordered this one from the same site a few minutes ago: RAZORBACK 6 1/2" blade of 154CM, mirror polished hollow grind, 11 1/4" overall length
Stainless steel hilt and butt cap
Stag and ironwood handle with stainless steel and black fiber spacers
With a leather sheath
Mint cond

I seem to be on a roll. That C7 Vette (finally world class) or AMG or M is gonna have to wait, I guess.
If you're familiar with Bill Lucket's knives, he's known for more flamboyant design than this one embodies & I could find no others in a quick search- which is why I wanted it; not because I don't like the more flamboyant ones 'cuz I do. I will TRY to make one of those a next purchase, but I'm easly side tracked
Found this pic of a sold Luckett Razorback - same blade & hilt with a handle more like the ones on his more 'dashing' designs.


Thanks, John

Here are examples of Bill Lucketts's work: It might not show, but the blades are all mirror polished. The whole blade, not just the flats.
