Overview
This Model 2P by Paul Poehlmann features his patented Axial Locking Mechanism. This rare custom knife features a hand rubbed satin finish blade and frame. Nice function. Minor scuffs and scratches are visible; overall the knife is in good condition. Comes with leather slip sheath. Note from the consigner: "I purchased it in 1997, it has been my safe since then. I purchased it from Steve Alexander who owned Ramrod Gun and Knife in New Castle,In. Steve was instrumental in developing the “art knife” market, giving such notables as Imel and Cronk who were from this area their start. I do not know how the relationship developed between Paul and Steve, but I do recall that Paul relied on Steve’s marketing skills and was a guest at his home in British Columbia on several occasions. Hence, when Paul wanted to divest himself of some of his more notable pieces, Steve was his man. Please notice there is not a serial number on this knife, it is not a production item."
