Overview

This is a unique two-blade set by Scott Sawby and Steve Mullin that uses a single handle. The blades are mirror polished and have .185" blade stock and approximately .900" blade depth. The handle has mirror polished and dovetailed stainless steel bolsters, mother of pearl scales with black liners, stainless steel frame.  One blade is a drop point and one is a trailing point. To change blades, push down on spine and push slightly forward. It is a little tough to do, but once you figure it out, you got it. Blade will release and can be pulled out.  Reverse process for inserting new blade and work it upward until it locks.  Has a couple light scratches, otherwise excellent condition. We sold another one that was #75, that one had the original sales receipt that was dated 1984, so this one is older than that.

About the Maker

Mullin, Steve

Steve Mullin made knives under the "Pack River Knife Company" brand. He began making knives in the mid 1970's and is now retired.

Sawby, Scott

"I was born in North Dakota, but spent most of my youth in Illinois. I went west to attend college; and after graduating and a stint in the army, I returned to Utah State University to pursue a Master’s degree in biology. It was there in 1970 I began making knives as a hobby. It was difficult to get started back then, as there were no books on knifemaking and very few makers around to get advice from. I teamed up with Steve Mullin and we went north to see Bernard Sparks in Dingle, Idaho. Bernie was one of the original custom knifemakers and a founding member of the Guild. He pointed us in the right direction, showed us what a belt sander was, and we went back to Logan to construct one. For the next few years we made knives either full or part time depending on what other employment was available. In 1976 Steve and I bought adjoining pieces of land in North Idaho, built log homes on them and became professional knifemakers. Our first shop was built of logs. We eventually outgrew it and in 1983 I sold my half to Steve and built a shop of my own nearby where I work to this day."
