Comments: Sorely missed for his creativity and artistry, Ralph Salvideo' popularity has only grown since his premature death. An acknowledged master, Ralph was an artist who never really had a chance to reach his peak. This stunning example of his best work contains all of the Salvideo hallmarks. That includes the dramatically a shaped fighter blade as well as boldly fashioned Damascus bolsters and absolutely magnificent fossil ivory scales. The back-strap is attractively carved and inlaid with several figures of 24k gold. The titanium liners are crisply filed and colored blue to contrast the earth tone scales. The release-bar has been attractively carved, and the blade has a nicely ground swedge to add a more elegant look to the blade. This may be your only chance to own a Ralph Salvideo masterpiece, and at a price comfortably below what you may find on other internet sites - if they have any of Ralph's knives at all!
