I personally cut these blades from flat metal stock,then hand ground as close to perfection as I could. Then they were hardened and tempered. The blades are then finished to the next level, mostly by sanding(for hours) with varying grades of sandpaper, some to a mirror finish. The handles are made in much the same way,then attached to the blade in a variety of techniques. After they are attached, they are hand finished and polished. I also scrimshaw a few of the ivory ones. The sheaths pictured I also make by hand specifically for the knife with which they are pictured.
As always, shipping is free and I pay all applicable taxes.
You have the right to return within 30 days of receipt for a full refund as long as the knife is not damaged from abuse.
These knives aren't any better than some top brand factory knives, but they are original art and have collectable value. In other words, they should appreciate in value over time if taken care of. A family heirloom.
I also want to state that I use mostly fossilized ivory on my handles with a few wart hog tusks and hippo tusks that are legal everywhere. These are dangerous animals and some have to be killed to protect human life.
Note, When referencing "hardware" I am talking about, guards,bolsters,and pommels
