Overview
Note from seller:"This knife is part of a collection of knives which are now regretfully being liquidated due to a medical hardship. Rainy, whom I believe is one of the finest auto knifemakers in the world, was privately commissioned by me to create this collection. Most importantly, since I desired to have a very unique collection of autos, I personally secured all materials. Those materials included each set of presentation grade handles, the damascus, steel, screws and I even hand picked in New York the premium grade gemstones used in the knifes. In all reality, these are not just custom knives - but honestly a true creation of knife art. Finally, all knives have been stored in the open position in glass cases since the day I received them."
Rainy's experience with gemstones is featured in the article "Goo-Goo-Eyed for Gemstone Knives" in the Knives 2010 annual. This knife is from the collection referenced in the article and a fine example of Rainy's beautiful work with stones.
