A couple of weeks ago I picked up a knife at a North Florida auction.
The blade and guard are damascus. It appears to have a buffalo horn spacer and a handle of what seems to be fossil ivory. I was told it was walrus. The end cap is nickel silver and it has a well made leather sheath. The blade has a cross etch with the legend "Cross Forge." The sheath has an imprint of a cross on the back. I've seen this mark somewhere; but, I fear the brain cells that held this information have succumbed to age. Is there anyone who knows the name and location of the maker? It is a nice well made knife. Another by the same maker was sold at the same auction and I feel that it was from a local seller; unfortunately, I did not buy it.
