"High-End" Custom Knives, is a term used to describe knives made to a superb standard by top makers, using only the very best of materials.

I intend to offer, whenever possible, folding knives of this calibre to those who appreciate the finer things in life.

While many of us may never be able to afford a "London Best" shotgun, owning an equivalent standard knife may just be a possibility!

To those fortunate enough to actually enjoy the finer things in life - a hand crafted, high-end pocket knife may compliment perfectly your other accoutrements.

RYUICHI KAWAMURA. JAPAN. "REMINGTON MUSKRAT".

Knifemaking Legend Tony Bose had nothing but praise for "RYU" as he is known in Knife Collecting Circles and it is easy to see why with this superb example of a classic USA pattern. The Stag is Exhibition Grade with a perfectly fitted Federal Shield while the s/s bolsters are integral to the liners. The ATS34 steel blades have just the right amount of tension, with a 'hand rubbed' satin finish on the flats and a mirror polish on the ricasso and inside the frame. Blades: 2-1/2 inches. Closed: 3-/2 inches. Whoever buys this is unlikely to be disappointed.

MIKE ZSCHERNY. USA. "SWAYBACK JACK".

A knife from one of the acknowledged masters of slipjoint knives. Mike's knives are much sought after in the US and looking at this super knife, one can see why. Handled in gorgeous stag, with a 'Key Hole' shield and 'Rat Tail' bolsters, this is a knife that would certainly give that 'Pride of Ownership' feeling. Blade: 2-7/8 inches. Closed: 3-1/2 inches. Lovely 'walk & talk' with a good pull.

SOLD PAUL MASON. ENGLAND. "EUREKA JACK"

As I'm sure most of you reading this will know, Paul is widely recognised as the UK's pre-eminent maker of slipjoint (non locking) folders, with a standard of 'fit & finish' that rivals the best from the American Makers. Not too surprising considering he was in constant contact with the greatest slipjoint maker of them all - Tony Bose. This is a lovely 2-blade Eureka Jack pattern, with 'Rootbeer' jigged bone and premium RWL34 steel. Complete with guarantee card and a lovely leather key fob made by Jan (Paul's wife). Although made in 2016, this knife has only ever been in a collection and considering that Paul and Jan have now relocated abroad - and ceased making knives for a while - this is a rare opportunity to buy a superb handcrafted folder that will definitely give that "Pride of Ownership" feeling. Closed: 3-1/3 inches. Main blade: 2-3/4 inches.

Super collector piece !

SOLD TONY BOSE. WILFRED WORKS. USA. "WHARNECLIFF TRAPPER".

What more needs to be said about Living Legend Tony Bose, who you could argue is the maker who "kick started" the whole interest in the Slipjoint genre again. Universally recognised as "The No.1 Maker" for this style of knife, his fit & finish is second to none and most Collectors aspire to have one of his knives in their collection. Also widely known for his work with W.R. Case ( who approached Tony at a Show about working with them - a really smart move on their part ! ) but what is not so widely known is how generous Tony is with his time to other makers, offering not only advice but also freely offering his patterns as well. This Wharnecliffe Trapper pattern is his own idea and could be said to be his "Loveless Dropped Hunter" - as the model he is most known for and one which you will find in the front pocket of his jeans should you ever have the pleasure to meet him.

Made from 440V steel and handled in the fabled "Remington Bone" complete with a Federal Shield, it's hard to see how you could do better. Sheer Perfection !!

Blades: 2-3/4". Closed: 3-5/8".
