J. Michael McRae, ABS Journeyman Smith
(First let me apologize for the sorry picture in the background. Excuses being what they are, I shot this under less than ideal conditions. Look at this picture just for the scabbard. And now...)
Made to the Lady's specifications from naught but top shelf materials. To wit:
Very old ivory, carved in a large diamond checkered pattern. Centered on each diamond is a silver pin. The center band and ferrule are hand engraved. The pommel is surrounded with fancy Silver gallery wire, and set in the pommel, in 14k gold, is a 6mm brilliant Mozambique garnet. Blade is 6.5" of twist Damascus. Wood lined scabbard fitted out with Sterling Silver furniture, and covered in red leather.
