Comments: This knife made by Howard Hitchmough, and decorated in the Art Deco style
by Master Engraver Ron Skaggs, is truly outstanding. And with
work like this it’s easy to see why Howard was included in David
Darom’s recent reference work on Custom Folding knives.
Everyone knows that Ron Skaggs is the Master of High-relief engraving but this little gem surpasses all expectations. It is simply one of the several finest small knives engraved by Ron we have ever seen!
Howard
is really playing with the big boys these days when it comes to
highly original art knives. This example has really exceptional
engraving in Gold, Silver and Copper, and the blade is decorated with
a jeweled gold thumb-stud instead of a traditional nail
nick. The back-strap is delicately filed, and purple-anodized titanium
liners complete the package. What a gorgeous knife. It would make
an ultimate daily carry piece.
