Didn't think I would acquire another Jeff Ware slip joint so soon, but I couldn't pass this one up. It has bull horn covers backed with 23k gold leaf and a 2.875" CPM 154 blade. This is the first one Jeff made with some filework on the back spring. The shield is coin silver made from a silver 18th century Spanish 1/2 Real coin.

Here is a pic showing the file worked back spring.

Here is a pic of the Spanish 1/2 Real before Jeff ground and polished it:

What is really neat about this piece is that Jeff provided the story around the bull horn.  The horn came from a bull fight in the pueblo of Motul (just outside of Merida, Yucatan, Mexico) by world famous Spanish Rejoneador, Pablo Hermoso de Mendoza (a Rejoneador fights from horseback).  Here is a pic of Mendoza fighting the bull:

Here is a pic of Jeff harvesting the horn:

What is even neater is the fact that the knife made it from Merida, Mexico to my door in Pennsylvania in just under 24 hours!!!

"Made it back from MI. We got over 4" of rain overnight one night. We woke to an overflowing creek. Right into our yard."
