This is a fantastic
1/3 scale Marbles safety knife by master miniature knifemaker Mr. Sakauchi of Japan. 1 13/16" long closed, 2 13/16"
long open. All hand made with first rate quality. This is a folding pocket knife that converts into a Bowie type fixed blade
scabbard knife complete with a crossguard. When you open the blade, then fold in the safety, the blade is locked and cannot
fold up on you in use. When closed, the safety guard covers the tip and front edge of the blade so you do not cut yourself
or your pocket. An ingenius design and marketed by Marbles for many years. This knife won best miniature knife at the 2008
Japanese Knifemakers Guild Show in Japan and also won best miniature knife at the 2008 Blade Show in Atlanta. Let me tell
you the competition for those awards if fierce! Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6, Photo 7, Photo 8, Photo 9, Photo 10, Photo 11 Price: $600.00

This is a neat miniature fixed blade knife made from a penny by C.W. Shoemaker. Pennies today are made
from copper plated zinc, so when the kinife shape is cut out and the blade profiled, the copper is removed revealing the white
zinc blade. The guard shows the original copper plate. Ivory grips are held in place with two tiny copper pins.
The blade hand engraved C.W. Shoemaker on the left side. These are all hand made and no two are exactly alike.
Stock photos, yours may look slightly different. Comes in a protective lift top plastic capsule. Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6, Photo 7 Price: $35.00

!!!!!Note, 12 New Photos and expanded more detailed text!!!!! This is a beautiful
1/3 scale miniature Bowie knife by master miniature maker Daniel Osterman. This is known as the number 1 Bowie.
The full size original knife featured on pages 34 and 35 of The Antique Bowie knife Book by Adams, Voyles, and Moss.
The following quoted from the book: "Speculators can have a field day with this one. First the description:
This very old knife is silver mounted with ropework filing on the tang, a walnut handle, and is 18 1/2" long overall.
The blade is a long 13 1/2 inches and 1 3/4 inches wide. The unusual thing about this Bowie is how the handle turns
at a slight angle to the blade. Held with the edge up, as was often done by frontier knife fighters, the blade is level
with an extended arm. The ricasso has silver layering, and in it's day it must have been a fancy looking thing.
As for the speculation, we can start by saying it feels as good in the hand as does any knife in this book, and some of the
speculation is prompted by the silver escutcheon marked with a very oldengraving of the words "Bowie No. 1."
Was the knife so engraved by the makerso the owner would know the knife was a Bowie? Or was the Jim Bowie innovation
an unusual angle to the blade, one that was lost over the years? And what if...? Here's one of the great pleasures
of Bowie knife collecting -- you get to fill in the rest. Bob Berryman Collection" The knife measures 6
1/4" long overall with a 4 13/32" drop point blade. The handle is burl walnut and there is no guard.
It is exactly as described in the above desription, just 1/3 the size. Dan did a masterful job of re-creating this Bowie
in miniature. The left side of the silver layered ricasso engraved D.E.O.+. Complete with the original Osterman
hinged top walnut casing, French fit, and lined in green felt. Dan even made the nickel silver hinges! The
outer lid inlaid with an oval German silver escutcheon. A true masterpiece and really must be seen in hand to fully
appreciate. Dan passed away several years and his work is really starting to climb in value. Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6, Photo 7, Photo 8, Photo 9, Photo 10, Photo 11, Photo 12 Price: $3,850.00
