Comments: As many you know, Durvyn Howard is one of the great masters of the folding knife world, but he only makes a few knives a year and they rarely come to market. This large size Semi-skinner is really a remarkable work of art, and as far as we can tell, the only one of its size and type Durvyn has ever made!
The knife opens like a rocket and is perfectly engraved in high relief solid gold by Master Ron Skaggs. The matched presentation-grade Mother of Pearl scales have superb color and are nicely set off by the solid gold Cherubs.
If you are looking for a rare and unusual high grade folder at far below replacement cost to add to your collection, this could be the knife for you. Durvyn is currently charging more than $8000 for unengraved manual folders much small than this one – nevermind the Ron Skaggs engraving!
One thing is for sure, you will never see another!
