Thanks Mark. Not sure if I have had that one or not. Since I don’t have one in my collection, I doubt that I offered one for sale. I usually only sell any doubles or triples that I have when it comes to knives that I collect. Either way, the hunt goes on.
Is # 107191 in your store not the same knife as in your above picture of 4? If not, my apologies, ::handshake:: guess my ole' eyes are worse than I thought. ::facepalm::

That is a completely different knife from the Spire. It’s a Loveless Semi-Skinner design. Made by Moki under specs from Loveless and A.G. Russell. It’s a less expensive version of one that Bob Loveless made and sold himself, less expensive compared to an actual Loveless made knife.
So you're sayin' ..."my ole' eyes are worse than I thought, by a long-shot"...are you? ::hmm:: lol!
Thanks for the correct info, Mark.

You’re welcome Mark. I found my old A.G. Russell catalog that had these spires in them and the mother of pearl is the last one I need.
Sorry about your eyes. Believe me I know about that. Cataracts suck.

I used to have a few Moki Kronos Amber boneknives
Had to sell them for reasons I have discussed here on the forum
I was finally able to purchase my ‘next’ first Moki

Thanks again Mark she’s a beauty

You’re welcome Gino. I never get tired of looking at that blue bone. Thanks again. Glad I could provide one of your next first Moki’s, I’m sure it won’t be your last.

Congratulations, gino, ::handshake:: you should consider yourself quite lucky since the blue lapis models from Mark sold out quickly, so you may have received one from his private stash. I got my 433 shortly after they dropped, and I've enjoyed it ever since. I got my 433 burnt-orange barbed-wire version shortly after that.
And, so far nobody's pictures have displayed just how beautiful these little folders are, they must be seen and handled to truly appreciate the knife.
Since you have previously owned a Moki you know how addicting they are, so get out the ole' pocket-book and.....! :shock:

Actually Mark that one was returned from Denmark and marked as “unclaimed”. Mailed it Dec 4th and got it back the first week of March. I just listed it without putting it on the banner and to my surprise Gino found it and bought it in less than 8 or 9 hours. Wish I had more to offer, the interest in these blue ones have really picked up in the last 6 months of last year. I am starting to think about another project with Moki. Need to nail down some ideas first and then try and get on their calendar. I will keep folks posted if something develops.

My apologies, Mark, that's what I get for assuming things again. ::facepalm:: At least gino got a copy since I know he really wanted one. I for one am looking forward to a new collaboration knife from you and whomever, I can hardly wait!

Hopefully this will complete my collection of Moki Spires designed by Matt Conable. I think A.G. Russell just had the 4 handle materials made. Matt Conable had the green one made for his own William Henry. Love this design. Picked up the MOP last week.

Thank you Mark. I’ve been wondering where you have been. Been awhile since I saw you post last.

Here is my Lakota Falcon. Normally they are marked Moki, this one has no makers mark. Seems odd that someone would fake a Lakota Falcon, I think its probably an early or late production (post Hoffman)

Nice Don, Probably an early example of Lakota. I don’t think they added the Moki name until later. That’s an iconic knife.
