George Herron – Pink Ivory Interframe

Description

GEORGE HERRON

I recently received several knives from a large Private Herron collection.  There are several gorgeous fixed blades, some collaboration knives and several extremely rare Herron sole authorship folding knives.  

 George Herron was a true Knife Making Legend, he influenced an industry and personally taught dozens of knife makers in his career.  His style is still as easily recognizable today as it was when he refined it decades ago.

 This is as perfect a knife as I have ever seen, an Interframe Lockback from the legendary George Herron

I apologize for the strange angles of the pictures, however due to the immaculate Mirror Polish of the entire knife this was like photographing one big mirror. 

 The beautiful Pink Ivory inlay is perfectly flush with the Stainless frame.  Pink Ivory is from a Tree in Africa that is the Royal Tree of the Zulu Tribe.  Only members of the Royal family could posses the wood, any other person found in possession of even a small amount (including foreigners) was put to death.  At one time this wood was worth its weight in Diamonds! 

This knife is dtd 2000 and Serial numbered 302 on the interior.  The blade seems to float open it is so smooth.  Extremely solid lock up. 

A work of art from a Master. This is a knife that will be the pinnacle of any collection.  

Knives like this, from one of the old Masters, are rare and this being a Folder from Mr George it is even more so!   I am sure the new owner will treasure it for years to come. 

The Knife will arrive in a Leather Pouch Sheath.  

This knife is preowned but never used, carried or sharpened.  There may be tiny handling marks but I did not see any. 

MINT condition.
