1 rare Buck Custom Employee family and friends model 916 California Bowie.  This fine Custom Buck knife would make an incredible addition to any collection. 

This fine Buck Custom knife was given out to Buck employees, family and friends that volunteered to work at Buck’s last factory sale before Buck moved its factory to Idaho.  The blade is engraved with serial number: ‘015/150’. 

The blade measures 8 1/8″.  This knife measures 12 1/2″ overall.  The handle is made of sun-bleached elk horn.  This rare Buck volunteer awarded knife comes in a wood display box. 

This Custom Buck knife also comes with a 1 oz. Sterling Silver 100 Year Commemorative coin. 

This Custom Whale Shark has a Marfione hand ground blade with a high polished grind, satin and bead blasted groove. The handle is 30k layer carbon fiber with bead blasted hardware and pocket clip. The Whale Shark Flipper from Microtech is an impressive knife that boasts great style, solid performance and innovative design! Microtech’s intent on designing a knife with solid G-10 composite handles, was to move away from “old school” handle materials like aluminum.

The handle features super lightweight 3D contoured carbon fiber slabs, but does not compromise strength or durability. The Whale Shark uses the unique titanium sub-lock tab resulting in a solid lockup. The contoured back spacer and tip-up carry pocket clip feature titanium as well. The S35VN steel blade is deployed via the flipper on the spine of the knife and the action is superb, thanks to the ceramic bearing system.

This knife comes with its original Maxpedition zipper pouch.

1 U.S. World War 2 Richtig fighting knife available.  This big 8″ Richtig fighting knife would make an important addition to any U.S. military or world militaria collection. 

This knife was made by a legend in knife-making.  Frank Richtig had a secret steel tempering process that allowed him to slice through railroad spikes and automobile leaf springs.  Frank would demonstrate this at county fairs–after slicing a railroad spike or leaf spring, he would slice through a piece of paper with the same knife.  Frank earned himself a spot in a ‘Ripley’s Believe It or Not’ magazine in the 1930’s.  These knives can be used for decades, because of Frank’s superior craftsmanship.

This big fighter measures 12 7/8″ overall.  The blade itself measures 8″.  The guard and pommel are brass.  The extended lanyard ring was hammered flatter during the War.  The pommel is stamped ‘F.J.R.  CLARKSON  NEB.’.  There is no sheath with this knife.  I recommend the collector purchase a period World War 2 sheath for an 8″ knife to go with it.  

There are 3 notches carved into the guard–sometimes notches like this are meant to record how many enemy kills a soldier had.

All military fittings are of excellent quality.  The seppa, tsuba, etc. all have matching assembly numbers–the number ‘5’.  The tsuka has a fine cherry blossom sarute/tassel loop.  The blade measures 25 13/16″ (65.6 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine.  This fine sword has an early metal spatter-lacquered saya/scabbard.

Normally the fuchi is plain–the dirk in this listing has a cherry blossom in relief.  Additionally, note the different patterns on the saya/scabbard throat and saya drag.  This WW2 Japanese Naval Officer’s Dirk is very difficult to find. 

This dirk measures 13 1/2″ overall.  The blade itself measures 8 9/16″ (as measured properly from blade tip to the bottom of the notch in the habaki).

The handle has a wire-wrapped same/rayskin grip.  I have not had the handle off–the threads are super tight, and I can’t get them loose without damaging the cherry blossoms.
