Unknown Maker. SOUTH AFRICA. "HUNTER".

A 'Gem' from the back of my safe. I can't remember the Maker of this lovely knife but the work is exemplary, with a 'fit & finish' of the highest order. I assume the steel is stainless (as is commonly used by S/A Makers) and the wood is an indigenous to S/A. Blade: 3-3/4 inches.

Oal: 8-1/2 inches. Complete with its original, well made leather sheath  (which shows storage "marks").

Excellent, unused condition. £275 inc. UK p&p.

SOLD D.H.RUSSELL. CANADA. "GROHMANN BELT KNIFE".

A knife that was initially designed in 1957 has now gone on to become an instantly recognisable classic. This particular knife is the #2 Trout & Bird in stainless steel - and a size which is much more suitable to game over here in the UK. Blade: 4 inches. Oal: 8-1/4 inches. Complete with original box, sheath, etc. As new condition.

BUCK KNIVES. USA. "Vintage BUCK 119".

A stunning example of this well known knife. Still in production - confirming just how popular this model is - this particular knife actually dates from 1990, when a stag handle was an extra cost option. No longer offered as a handle option, this would be a great buy for the stalker who enjoys using this knife but would like a deluxe version (to the envy of his fellow shooters). Now becoming very collectable over in the US.

Mint, unused condition. NEW PRICE: £245 inc. UK p&p.

GERBER LEGENDARY BLADES. USA. "Model A475 -ARMORHIDE SERIES".

Released from my own collection, this particular knife was obviously part of the equipment taken on an African Safari by USA Gunmakers, Thompson Centre in 1976. Discontinued in the late 1980's, these Armourhide knives (which refers to the handle covering - a Gerber speciality) won rave reviews in use due to their use of 'High Speed Tool Steel' blades at Rc. 60-62, with an industrial hard-chrome plating. Made when Pete Gerber was still running the firm and designed by the legendary Al Mar when he was head designer for Gerber, before setting up making knives in his own name. Blade: 4-1/2" (2.25mm thick). Oal: 9-1/2". Complete with original brown leather sheath.

Mint, unused condition. £325 inc. UK p&p.

EDF KNIVES. The Netherlands. "HUNTER"

Please email for details. NEW PRICE: £225 inc. UK p&p.

SOLD PAT MITCHELL KNIVES. "Sportsman Collection - Model 574".

Described in their catalogue as  - "A rugged compact knife for hunting and field use, it will prove itself invaluable for all sportsmen".

Since the demise of Pat Mitchell Knives due to the passing of both Stuart Snr. (who actually made the knives) and his wife, Pat (who ran the business and whom it was named after) these knives have become sought after by Collectors and also those looking for a very good quality Handmade Sheffield knife - as opposed to one made in the Far East !

These knives keep a superb edge due to the SF77 high carbon stainless steel used by Stuart Snr. This particular knife is handled in a very attractive wood laminate, which was one of the handle options offered, and a brass guard and pins. The original sheath is missing but the knife comes with a high quality sheath similar to the original style. This is, without doubt, the best quality Pat Mitchell knife I have seen since their passing and whoever buys this will not be disappointed !  

Blade: 4-1/4". Oal: 9".   As New condition.

Stunning quality. Mint, unused cond. 

NEW PRICE: £300 inc. UK p&p.

HOCHSTEIN. HUNGARY. "ENGRAVED HUNTER".

As a knife that was part of a collection I recently bought, I have to confess that I know very little about this maker - other than he certainly knows how to craft a knife ! Hafted in Wild Boar tusk and with stunning scroll work on both sides of the blade, this knife is very European in flavour but epitomizes 'Pride of Ownership'. The s/steel guard is very well fitted and if this knife does not sell, I could well be tempted to keep it for my own use. Complete with original 'deep seated' brown leather pouch sheath. Blade:85mm Oal:185mm. 

Excellent, unused condition. NEW PRICE: £300 inc. UK p&p.
