When Francesco Pachi contracted a lung disease it cut short his knife making career and the knife community lost a premier maker long before his prime. It is rare to find a Pachi knife on the secondary marker and more rare to find one with two scrims by his lovely and talanted wife Mirella. This knife features high nickel blued damascus blade(with a solid gold thumb-bob with MOP insert) and bolsters, multi-colored and filed anodized titanium liners, and elephant ivory scales. Mirellas detailed and complex scrims feature a cougar and cubs on one side and a Polar bear and cubs on the other. This is a great opportunity to invest in a Francesco Pachi knife that is bound to increase in value!

Francesco Pachi

This hunter/skinner style knife was crafted by Francesco Pachi. It features a Damascus blade and bolsters wedded to a tapered stainless steel tang. The scales are some knock out, wildly colored abalone that is seperated from the bolsters with black and stainless spacers. The blade is filed, and the bevel is filed to give the appearance of being knapped. This fixed blade has all of the elegance of a Pachi folder. It is a fine example of the talent of Francesco Pachi who's career was cut short by illiness.

Vernie Reed

This is the very latest knife from Vernie Reed. It takes a long time to absorb all the details on a Vernie Reed knife. As you check the very precise filework on the liners, the hand made, solid gold screws, and the handmade thumb-bob, the many exactly centered solid gold pins, you begin to appreciate the time involved in his extraordinary fits and attention to detail. Vernie describes this drive to perfection as "anal" He can't stand for any part of his knives not to be perfect. This wharncliffe folder is no exception. The outstandingly colorful Black Lip Pearl spews color, the damascus pattern on the blade is bold, and the bolster damascus is complex and compact. The inserts in the spacer bar are as finished on the inside as they are on the outside. When you own a Reed knife you own perfection not only in materials,but in every ounce of skill that Vernie pocesses!

Frank didn't skip a beat when he assembled this little beauty. This meteorite came from Russia and shows preterrestrial shear -deformation: i.e. the Widmanstatten pattern have been sheared and bent(probably on impact). Besides this speciman has Neumann Lines, rare perthitic Plessite and many inclusions of Schreibersite. Wow! I'm glad I didn't have to spell all those words on my own!
Seriously, It's a truely beautiful knife!
