All About Pocket Knives

Here are a couple Michael Praters from my PC.

1) Mastodon Tooth 8 bladed Case 88 PROTO

2) Mastodon Chip GEC 1/1

A couple that I rehandled and fileworked.

Generally speaking, I am not a fan of multi-blade knives with a lot of fancy filework; however, that Case 88 customized by Michael Prater is a stunningly beautiful work of art reminiscent of a Sheffield Exhibition Knife. Great addition to your PC (Private Collection), which, BTW, I hope you will share some more photos of as I am certain you're sitting on a veritable "Dragon's Lair" of amazing, never-seen-before, one-of-a-kind knives that need to be seen. After all, it's only fair to share (says the man who has nothing even remotely as gorgeous as that one)

Very nice ivory knives!

Not too surprising.

Check out the spectacular Mammoth Ivory BIGHEAD put on my Sheffield Taylor Eyewitness Wharncliffe Swayback.

I'm still trying to find my jaw after it dropped to the floor when I first laid eyes on this beauty.

Whooooooooooooooe. That is fabulous stuff. One of a kind cool piece of tusk. Fabulous workmanship Bighead. Kudos to you for working some magic. Q, the green with envy doesn't even begin tell it. Congrats on a fabulous piece. Incredible stuff that old, old ivory. Wow. God bless the beast that left us that tusk. Incredible natural beauty.

Dad bought me this about 10 years ago, Mamouth Scales

Finished this one yesterday afternoon. Didn’t filework this one just fluted the bolsters and put some new britches on it.

Finished this one a couple days ago for a customer.

Love every one of these, Wow, incredible, doesn't even begin. The ivory is exceptional, the craftsmanship to put it on the knives and re-assemble looking flawless, man that it talent and beauty and art. Absolute treasures. Thanks for sharing. Gorgeous, I could drool hours checking out the character and color, and contour. Fabulous stuff. God blessed those beasts with some beauties.

Thank hou for the compliments on my work
