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.
This classic Trailing Point is one of Jack's most popular designs, and that leaves plenty of room for master engraver Sam Alfano to work his magic. The engraving celebrates the 500th Anniversary of Columbus discovering the America and is one of the most famous and most published custom knives ever made.
It comes from the Peppini Collection and has only had two owners since its creation. There is also a fine Walnut French fitted case for display.
Just to be clear - this is one of the three or four finest engraved Busfield knives on the planet. Knives like this do not come up for sale very often - so don't miss out! Neither Sam Alfano or Jack Busfield are still making or engraving custom knives, so this knife cannot be replaced!
