Comments: I have to admit that we've been big Jack Busfield fans for many years. In the 80s and 90s Jack's knives were the reference standard for inter-frame folders along with those made by Steve Hoel, and it's taken a number of years for the rest of the market to catch up to them. By the way, Jack does not go to shows any more and he is making very few knives.
This classic BK Folder is one of Jack's most popular designs, and that leaves plenty of room for master engraver Steve Lindsay to work his magic. The knife is completely engraved in 24 carat gold on both sides, and has some of the finest High Relief engraving we've ever seen. In fact, the entire frame is trimmed in twisted gold wire, and really helps to set off the presentation-grade black-lip pearl scales.
This knife is also currently pictured on Steve Lindsay's web site and has been published in many knife books, magazines and periodicals.
This is the first gold engraved Steve Lindsay knife we've seen for sale in ten years, and most would agree that his work is second to none. You may also know that Steve no longer accepts orders for engraving,has turned down large amounts of money offered for his engraving work. This is a chance to own an incredibly rare masterwork by two of the ultimate artists in their fields - don't let it slip by!
