FINEST Vintage 1977 Custom Carved Figural Boar-Hunting Dagger Knife Signed MJW

  
PLEASE NOTE: We take our photos in natural light outdoors and as a result there are sometimes reflections or shadows or glare shown in the blades. In person none of these exist; we will say so in the description if it may be otherwise. Please read our Terms below for details.

This is a very special knife and I think it's one of those things, too, that if you like it--and who wouldn't? It's a beautifully made knife, signed under its bronze cross-quillon, "MJW, 77, " with that almost certainly being the year it was made. It's an homage of sorts to the old German hirschfanger knives used to deliver the coup de grace to fallen prey, especially wild boar in Germany's legendary hunting grounds, The Black Forrest.

It's blade is hand-forged carbon steel of the highest quality, razor sharp on both edges and wickedly pointed like a needle at the tip. Handle is a single, massive chunk of crown stag antler, carved at its pommel with the head of a boar. Just look at it--a thing of beauty and truly a work of the cutler's art. It's a piece that was meat to be used as much as shown, with one of the finest leather sheaths I've ever seen, as well as a whetstone. Above average size of the piece is also very nice--13.75" long with an 8" blade. The photos really do tell the story here. A beautiful piece for user and collector alike and one that will rightly be thought of as an heirloom!
