Overview

Note from seller:

"This knife is part of a collection of knives which are now regretfully being liquidated due to a medical hardship. Rainy, whom I believe is one of the finest auto knifemakers in the world, was privately commissioned by me to create this collection. Most importantly, since I desired to have a very unique collection of autos, I personally secured all materials. Those materials included each set of presentation grade handles, the damascus, steel, screws and I even hand picked in New York the premium grade gemstones used in the knifes. In all reality, these are not just custom knives - but honestly a true creation of knife art. Finally, all knives have been stored in the open position in glass cases since the day I received them."
This Scarab side-opening automatic features a damascus dagger-style blade with a false top edge, mosaic damascus double bolsters, and mammoth ivory scales. File work on bolsters, backspacer, and all around the liners. Damascus push button. Sapphire inlay in bolster. Ruby insets in backspacer. Strong and fast leaf spring action. Perfect blade seating. Great looking materials. Excellent work. Mint condition. Blade Steel: Chad Nichols Damascus
