Well-crafted custom Bowie-style knife marked “R. St. Cyr” at the ricasso, featuring a long, slender Damascus steel blade with bold, high-contrast patterning and a refined clip-point profile. The blade is complemented by a distinctive forward-curving iron guard, lending both visual appeal and hand protection. The handle is fashioned from richly figured burl wood, displaying tight grain, natural eyes, and warm coloration. A copper spacer provides an attractive transition between blade and grip, while the pommel terminates in a metal cap with lanyard ring. The knife is accompanied by a fitted leather sheath with stitched seams and hanging loop. A strong example of modern custom knifemaking with Western stylistic influence. Dimensions approx.: 16 x 1.5 in.; blade 10.5 in. Pickup & Shipping: This lot may be picked up free of charge in Gardnerville, NV.

Very good, with light surface wear and minor handling marks to the blade and fittings. Damascus pattern remains crisp and well-defined. Burl wood handle is smooth and intact with no visible cracks. Guard shows light patina consistent with age. Sheath exhibits light wear with intact stitching.
