SOLD - Really Spectacular
"This is a beautiful variant of the Tunnel Ratt in Padauk wood and Ivory. Stunning, ain’t she?
Padauk is a super tough, richly colored reddish African hardwood which for centuries was used to produce chalices, bowls, scepters and other ornaments and tools for African and Arab royalty. Back in the 10th century BC, King Solomon used Padauk for the pillars of his temple. Thousands of years later, the French kings Louis XV and Louis XVI prized personal items made from Padauk. The fact that so many Padauk artifacts in daily use for generations have survived and still look terrific says volumes about the qualities of this wood, and the Ivory really sets it off.
The frame is Dwaine Carrillo's Titanium X-frame, and it’s just about bulletproof.
The Blade, Materials, and the workmanship? Superb in every respect. This just might be one gotta have."
