Custom Knife with Pearl Handle and Damascus Blade. Full Fileworked Liners Inlaid Abalone Backspacer. Stunning full dress custom folding knife handmade by Peter Martin, well known Wisconsin custom knife maker whose reputation was further enhanced after his appearance on “Forged in Fire”. The knife features presentation grade white pearl handles, mokume bolsters, and a Devin Thomas Damascus blade with Martin’s distinctive shamrock cutouts. The spine is extraordinary, with full fancy filework on the liners and abalone inserts in the backspacer. Knife measures about 8″ open and about 4-5/8″ closed. Excellent condition; blade opening is somewhat stiff. When I bought this knife several years ago, I emailed Mr. Martin to ask whether he could provide any info about it. The blade is stainless Damascus from Devin Thomas. Built between 1999 and 2000. Clover leaf Piercing is my mark on fancier folders and a few high end straight knives. Front bolsters are Mokume. Handle white Mother of Pearl, inlays are Abalone. There is another knife similar to this one but it has walrus handle, I built these two at the same time. This one went to Europe, the other went to Japan or Asia. From a smoke-free and pet-free home.
