@Stuart Mitchell Looking at the design of the handle, it’s very similar to the Malcberry 1897 Series?

Cheers

My thoughts? I think it is ugly as all ****ery and hasn't much going for it.

Agree. Not sure what would use it for. Skinning I guess. Getting it in the sheath looks tricky too

I suppose the material choices of brass and antler go a long way to adding to any resemblance, too.

The world of custom knives, eh.

Imagine how boring things would get if we all wanted the same thing.

So a two headed rottweiler living next door is good ha ha...bastards gonna take me two shots if it attacks me billy`s.

Stuart you make fine knives and if you can see any functional merits of that knife I`m sure that you will offer them...yes?
Of course if one has no knife at hand for a skinning task that one would be a gem lol.

The auctioneers choose to describe it as a Bolo style, I can easily see it being used in that way.

The auctioneers choose to describe it as a Bolo style,

i did look up 'bolo' designs and that one above needs another four inches in the actual blade methinks as it looks like it suffers from achondroplasia.

Maybe the client did?

Blade length looks very short in the pic, but in reality it is 8" / 200 mm, easily good enough for removing fat & gunk from a pelt, also sufficient for prepping kindling in camp as it looks to have reasonable weight.

I have one of these for kindling. Ergonomically they are superb. Kjøp Viking axe fra Øyo - Vi har et stort utvalg innen Axes

Blade length looks very short in the pic, but in reality it is 8" / 200 mm

The proportions of that 8" are all wrong imo.

Look at this from the old box of patterns.

Obviously not the same but clearly some sort of derivative.
