Vintage Ralph Bone Custom Handcrafted Skinner / Hunting Knife
$595.00
-
The Blade: Features a highly polished, drop-point/skinner profile blade with a prominent belly, ideal for precision field work. The ricasso proudly bears Ralph Bone’s iconic, deeply stamped signature stylized “Bone” hallmark. Subtle file work or jimping along the spine provides both visual texture and a secure thumb rest.
-
The Guard: Outfitted with a beautifully contoured, solid brass single guard that seamlessly transitions into the handle, offering excellent hand protection and a classic aesthetic contrast.
-
The Handle: Crafted with a striking, ergonomically curved exotic hardwood handle—resembling premium desert ironwood or cocobolo—displaying rich, sweeping grain patterns and deep amber tones. It features a dark micarta or horn spacer accented by thin brass bands just behind the guard for an elegant, tiered look.
-
Condition & Presentation: As seen in DSC06354.JPG, the knife is presented against a reflective black background, highlighting the mirror-polished finish of the steel and the lustrous sheen of the well-preserved handle.
