Some customers
asked if it was possible to ask Marcio to make bigger knives
with his distintive integral guard and here is the answer!
with a hand rubbed 52100 blade that
is over 1/4" thick at the guard, this big camp knife is very
well balanced thanks to the even distal taper. The stag handle
not only looks great but is very confortale and safe to handle,
too.
The brown leather sheath that comes
with it was also made by Marcio and has an interesting stud
composed of a stag tine tip attached to the sheath body by a
leather thong.
A clean and ellegant big blade with
Marcio´s signature touch all over it, proving that he can do
very well in any size blade. |

Flat Back Bowie Fighter by Dione Teodoro

Investment: US$ 210.00 plus shipping expenses.
This is a small
and super light flatback bowie. At 8" the forged, hand rubbed
flat ground 1070 steel blade feels more like if it was 5" long.
The handle is a nicely figured
piece of imbuia root and the carbon steel fittings have een
lightly etched giving the knife a different look. Dione Teodoro
is an artisan from the state of Mato Grosso who studied under
Sgt. Francisco Ferrari at the time he was serving there. His
work represents a great value and he strives to make it better
and better, even with the very limited resources he has in the
small town where he lives (his wife told me she had to travel 50
miles just to get an USB cable for their camera!). |

This beautiful

well balanced camp knife from before Ricardo got his JS stamp.

horn handle and a damascus pommel, it has very clean and
pleasing lines with no other embellishments than the beauty of
the materials it is made of - and that´s all it needs!

This classic style
bowie has an accentuated clip point not seen very often today. Tha,
along with the sculpted ebony handle really make it stand out in any
collection.
The steel used on this blade is very,
very tough and keeps an edge almost forever. I can imagine the
effort Luciano had to do to have it satin finished - wonder if he
still has fingers after that!
This knife comes with a tooled leather
sheath by the maker. Luciano´s leather work is as good as his knives
and he went as far as copying the handle profile on the belt loop. |

A great knife and
a piece of Brazilian history!
The damascus for this blade and
furnitures was hand forged (literally, no power hammer or press
back then) by the guys at Korth that by the time also included
Flavio Ikoma.
At the ricasso the knife bears the
Korth logo and the number 003. On the other side the date 07/91
(July, 1991)
The sturdy brown leather sheath is
original and typical of the sheathes made by Korth at the time.
This knife has been comissioned by
a collector who later sold it to me. I sold it to another
collector and he kept it with him until selling his collection
back to me two weeks ago, and it come to my hands again.
Knife and sheath are in perfect
consdition, showing only minor storage and age marks.
This unique knife is a piece of
Brazilian Custom Knife History and is perfect for who likes
great bowies and/or appreciates Korth´s work.

It seems that
Marcio don´t need more than some steel and some wood to come up
with a knife that is pure ellegance - I had asked him to make
some variations on the integral theme and he didn´t disappoint
me! This medium sized hunter/utility is imeccably forged from 01
tool steel and finished in Marcio´s usual high standard. The
integral guard has a vertical round groove that is repeated in
the stainless buttcap and its rounded, comfortable handle is
made from a beautiful piece of black Jacarandá (rosewood), one
of the several variations of this wood availabile in Brazil - it
is somewhat similar to ebony in color but the grain looks
different when you see it closer. Despite how nice it looks, it
is a great user, reay for duty. |

prefered Brazilian wood due to its three dimensional effect and
convoluted figure. |
