Rare Arkansas Toothpick, Dagger, Sword, by John Nelson Cooper from the Cardinal Collection. The double edge blade measures 12.25" and was ground from 3/8" stock. The handle is dark brown micarta accented with large brass spacers plus some smaller red, white, and black spacers. The knife sports a large brass double guard and crown butt cap. OAL: 18". There were only 17 of these ever made and this is a one of a kind with the early pre 1968 logo. The large brass spacers are a rare find and the configuration with the other spacers is very different making this a unique one of a kind collector item. The knife has never been used yet it looks like the blade had been lightly polished. You can still see the original grind lines. I would rate the knife excellent plus, as it looks like new very clean piece. The COOPER logo was the first logo John used when he moved to California in 1967. The knife comes with a premium custom leather sheath by Mosher.
