Ken Steigerwalt - Art Knife (Pen Shell)
This is an Art Knife from the very talented hands Ken Steigerwalt. This lock-back knife, done in an Art Deco style, features a Damasteel blade with decorative carving, a 416 stainless frame, also with decorative carving and inlays of Pen Shell and Gold, some of the Gold inlays have also been file-worked, and a back-spacer that is file worked and inlayed with more Gold and Pen Shell and the lock is also gold. An amazingly stylish piece that has resided in my personal collection as a safe queen. I received this direct from Ken and it is in excellent condition.
