A true once in a lifetime chance!
Now available is a unique and stunning piece of art from the reknowned knifemakers of Mora - that hub of all things pointy and shiny.
A genuine antique Mora Knife!
Gasp at it's wonderousness!
The patina on the blade is the result of a unique combination of extreme hard use and disgraceful neglect - see below where some of the blade has been professionally restored to reveal the original makers marks..........
Using an age old restorative techique of 1000 grit sandpaper, fingernail and spit - we are allowed once again to see the original makers mark previously hidden under the rusts of time!!
Marvel at the workmanship!
Here we see that a fortuitous crumbling of the handle has allowed us a glimpse at the quality of the rivet makers art - where tang and handle combine in an eternal embrace.
Aged by time!
The handle, just look at that handle! Why the heart sings!!
You can't fake a handle like that - it comes from surviving the harshest environments, surviving tough treks through the frozen wastes of the north (of Devon)
A truly magnificent knife of museum quality - a finer example you will never find.
Not just a knife, but an archeological treasure!
Such a knife is beyond price and value - but I will start an auction here, with all proceeds going to Help For Hero's
Auction will run until FRIDAY NIGHT!!!! (17th Dec)
So start your bidding and maybe you will one day soon hold this magnificent heirloom which can be handed down through future generations.
Thanks for looking!
