Just Received ~ Direct from the Maker at the New York Custom Knife Show 2012
This is a beautiful example of Theuns’ work, a Large Linerlock with exotic materials – he and I discussed at length the intricate details of this knife and I have strived to show some of them (others will no doubt be discovered by the new owner).
The knife has striking Crosscut Mammoth Ivory handle scales cast in Stained resin and bonded onto SS Melamine. The RH Thumbstud is Anodized Titanium and also has a resin inlay. The Bolsters are Stabilized dyed Giraffe Shinbone with wonderful natural surface texture. The blade is Alabama Forge High Carbon Damascus deep etched and washed in Copper to give it a very distinctive appearance. The action is extremely smooth and the lock up is perfect!
The frame is Fully Anodized Titanium, Theuns has also Anodized and Fileworked the Titanium Backspacer.
The blade is perfectly centered when closed and floats open, a joy to view and hold.
Hidden on the interior of every Prinsloo knife Thuen’s signs his name and uses pictoral representations of Aboriginal BushMen and Animals to tell the story of the knife and often shows the Animals that the materials came from (you can just see the Bushmen in the picture below, the Mammoth is hiding somewhere else).
This is a knife I could photograph for hours and still not fully show all the custom features.
This is a large precision Gentleman’s folder with very interesting materials.
This knife comes with an exotic Nauga Hyde Faux Leather pouch sheath. Also a Color Certificate of Authenticity which details all components is included.
A beautiful package that I am very proud to offer!
