This is one of the best knives we have ever seen! This one would
make Crocodile Dundee envious! The inlay work is absolutely incredible.

Mother of Pearl. This colorful, dazzling gemstone pattern has been
inlaid on the plated Silver handle. Hand etched Eagle figures adorn
the handle amidst traditional fine line details. The blade was made
from a leaf spring, truly high quality. This knife comes with a
sheath that was made from genuine hand stitched leather. The total
length of the knife is 14-1/2", the blade is 8-3/4" long,
and the sheath is 14" long. Imported. Designs may slightly
vary. It comes from Ray's old personal collection. Don't let this
once in a lifetime opportunity pass you by! Designs may slightly
vary.
This one comes from the old Apache Turquoise & Case Co. trading
post. They used to be one of our main suppliers running out of Phoenix,
Arizona, and after a few decades the owner decided to retire from
the business. Richard was lucky and fast enough to buy up his old
stock leaving us with a giant treasure of high quality items.
The existence of coral for Adornment, and it's great demand in our
world, dates back over ten thousand years. The name for this is
"Moorish or Oxblood Jewelry" Quality Coral is also referred
to as RED GOLD!! Coral is known to be used as a gem since prehistoric
times. Coral has a history of religious meaning and is one of the
seven treasures in Buddhist scriptures. Coral was long thought to
be a strong talisman against bleeding, evil spirits, and hurricanes.
In Indian folklore it is said that there was once a chief with turquoise
colored skin. One day he was running from his enemies in the hot
desert. Whenever he stopped to rest, his perspiration ran onto the
ground, collected in rocks and became turquoise.
There are many legends about Turquoise; The Pima consider it to
bring good fortune and strength and that it helped overcome illness.
The Zuni believe that blue turquoise was male and of the sky and
green turquoise was female and of the earth. Pueblo Indians thought
that its color was stolen from the sky. In Hopi legend the lizard
who travels between the above and the below, excretes turquoise
and that the stone can hold back floods. The Apache felt that turquoise
on a gun or bow made it shoot straight. The Navajo consider it as
good fortune to wear and believe it could appease the Wind Spirit.
