EXTRAORDINARILY RARE WINSTON CHURCHILL ENGRAVED CASED PRESENTATION QUALITY MORSETH HUNTING KNIFE.

EXTRAORDINARILY RARE WINSTON CHURCHILL ENGRAVED CASED PRESENTATION QUALITY MORSETH HUNTING KNIFE. Morseth knives, in and of themselves, are somewhat rare. Mr. Morseth invented a special method of making his knives with a special hardened edge forged into a softer steel blade making his blades substantially more flexible with an extremely durable edge. This knife has a 4-1/4″ skinning blade with a sgl German silver handguard and dbl stag handle with stag pommel. What sets this knife into another realm is the fantastic engraving by world class master engraver, Winston Churchill. Engraving consists of beautiful foliate arabesque patterns along both sides of top edge of the blade and ricasso. Right side of the blade is also engraved with a small panel of a branch with several clusters of pine needles. Sides of handguard are engraved in a chain pattern and the pommel cap screw is engraved in a flower blossom. Spine of the blade, near the handguard is engraved “W. CHURCHILL ENGR.” The stag handle is wonderfully scrimshawed on both sides of the handguard section with a Big Horn sheep on left side and a Dall Sheep on right side with a pine branch on the top. Left side of the handle body is beautifully scrimshawed in foliate arabesque patterns and the top of the pommel cap is equally beautifully scrimmed with the head of a Rocky Mountain goat ram. Accompanied by its orig burgundy velvet lined walnut casing with fine alligator skin covered top & bottom. Bottom of interior is French fitted for the knife. Front of case has a mortised brass latch.
