Comments: During the 80's and 90's two of the knife making world's greatest artists, Don Fogg and Murad Sayen, came together to create some of the most remarkable art knives ever conceived. The small amount of work they did together was call Kemal.
These extraordinary one-of-a-kind knives appeared in just about every major knife publication, and were also immortalized in several hard-cover books including multiple volumes of Jim Weyer's classic "Points of Interest". It is fair to say there was absolutely nothing like these masterpieces - before or since.
Here we have one of my favorite of the Kemal collaboration pieces a unique Quillion Dagger. It has a superb Damascus blade forged by Master Don Fogg, along with a carved steel guard and Fossil Walrus handle by artist Murad Sayen. And we just have to say that the carving of the handle is as remarkable as is the quality of the Fossil Walrus itself - simply incredible! We also love the Fire Crystal Opals used as eyes for the Gargoyles found at each end of the guard.
This is only the third Kemal piece we've ever seen for sale in years, and one of the two or three most interesting art knives we've ever had the pleasure to show.
