Distinctive custom fixed blade knife by R.W. St. Cyr, marked “ST. CYR” at the ricasso, featuring a finely patterned Damascus steel blade with a gentle clip-point profile. While not bearing the “M.S.” designation, the knife is attributable to a highly regarded American bladesmith known for Master Smith work. The guard is of polished metal with a clean, understated form. The handle terminates in a steel butt cap, complementing the blade’s aesthetic. The knife is accompanied by a suede leather sheath with decorative fringe, adding a Western stylistic element. Overall, an eye-catching custom piece combining Damascus work with the hand of a recognized maker. Dimensions approx.: 12.5 x 1.375 in.; blade 7.5 in. Pickup & Shipping: This lot may be picked up free of charge in Gardnerville, NV. Shipping via FedEx Ground/Home within the continental U.S. for $60 + 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing). Direct Signature Required. Combined lot shipping available.
Very good, with light handling wear to the blade and minor surface marks consistent with careful use. Damascus pattern remains crisp and well-defined with no visible structural issues. Guard and fittings are secure. Sheath shows light wear with intact stitching and fringe.
