Warren Osborne - Gunstock pattern
This is a very special Gunstock pattern knife from Warren Osborne. This slip joint knife features Norris Ladder Pattern Damascus blades with matching front and rear Damascus bolsters, the scales are some of the best looking green/blue/cream colored mammoth you will ever encounter, there is a bullet shield and rose gold pins.
For many years I collected and commissioned gunstock pattern knives from many of this country’s best custom knifemakers, some of them building their first knife using this pattern. I asked each for a two blade gunstock pattern 3 1/4" closed, otherwise , whatever they wanted to do reflect their own style. This is what Warren created for me. It has been in my personal collection, a safe queen, that I am now making available to some discerning collector. The knife is in excellent condition, as new from the maker.
Blade length: 2 1/2" (main blade, 2 1/4" (secondary blade)
Closed: 3 1/4"
Case/sheath: Bill's Custom hook & loop case
