Heinrich "Henry" Frank only makes 6-8 knives a year and as a result his knives are seldom encountered despite being highly sought after. This automatic dagger features a French Grey blade that is heavily engraved with gold wash embellishments on each side. Obverse side is marked "H.H. FRANK / DALLAS-OR" and the reverse is dated "AUG-7-2007". The handle has engraved gold bolsters with integral liners and ivory grip scales. The grip scales feature an engraved gold escutcheon on obverse and blank escutcheon on reverse. Scales are secured by gold pins and there is an engraved gold toothpick in the butt. Locking mechanism functions and operates smoothly. An excellent example of Frank's work in the form of this custom knife. CONDITION: Excellent.
Item Dimensions: L: 4 - 1/2"
