R D NOLEN Vintage Damascus Dagger, Short Sword. The double hollow ground random pattern Damascus blade measures 12 1/4". The handle is gorgeous tiger maple with great grain pattern. The fittings are 416 s.s. OAL: 18 1/2". Sorry to say R D passed away back in 2010. His son Steve is still making knives. I think this knives was made in the late 80's or early 90's. He was making some very nice high end knives back then and many of them can be viewed in Weyer Points Of Interest Book Series. Fantastic craftsmanship fit and finish. The knife has never been used and is near mint with just a few light scratches and a couple carbon spots on the blade. No sheath but zipper pouch included. .
