This is a small handmade, slip-joint folding knife made by Rick Nowland. It is in very good condition. Rick began making knives in 1986, and at that time they consisted of fixed blade knives. He started making slip-joint folders in 1995, and today that is his specialty. The blade is Damascus, and is in unused condition. The blade opens with a nail nick. It has a half-stop. There is some wear on the ricasso from opening and closing. It locks up tight with no blade play. The handle scales are smooth bone, and the dovetail bolster and liners appear to be brass. Not sure what Rick used to make the pattern on the bolster. It has some discoloration, and there are places where it is rubbed off. You can feel some of the texturing when you run your finger over the bolster. Nice little carry to drop in the pocket or purse. It will come in a carrying case or pouch for storage. This knife comes from a life-long collection of knives that were well-taken care of, and with very few exceptions, properly stored. You are always welcome to contact me for additional pictures. We will consider, and respond to all reasonable Best Offers on any knife. Never used, carried or sharpened. Overall length: 4 1/2. Blade length: 1 3/4. Handle length: 2 3/4.
