This would make a great birthday present. It is in the condition that it was delivered about 20 years ago

If you do not need the styrofoam box and lid, then postage would be reduced by $10. Upon payment I would refund the difference

I do have the complete set of 12 knives, if anyone is interested, and the original display cabinet. Contact me if you wish and I will list on Ebay. The cabinet is made of polished ebony with a glass door and is NOT included in this auction

This August "Days of desire" knife is in pristine condition

It features a  Goddess sitting on a rock getting a suntan at night !

The art work is by Julie Bell and it sits in a gold frame with a green gemstone

The knife measures 11 cm ( 4.3 " ) closed and 19 cm ( 7.5 ") when the blade is extended

It weighs nearly 300 gm ( 10.5 oz) and is a heavy knife

The blade opens smoothly and it is precision hand made
