Extremely Rare Custom Peter Rassenti Druid Full Dress Knife Mokuti & Damascus
This is an extremely rare and highly collectible Peter Rassenti Druid integral flipper.
This is the only example of a full dress Rassenti Druid flipper we have ever seen. Even after searching thoroughly to find a similar example, we simply couldn't find one. We contacted Mr Rassenti and confirmed that this knife was an auction piece that was sold for around USD$3000 (AU$4700 not including GST)!
What makes this knife even more special is that it is entirely made from Chad Nichols materials. The blade features a Nichols Damascus in boomerang pattern and the handle is made of the most beautiful Mokuti material we've ever seen, forged completely in-house by Chad Nichols. This full dress integral Druid is a true rarity and a real gem. The colour combination and build quality will put this knife right on the very top shelf of any serious knife collection.
Peter Rassenti is the most prominent knifemaker when it comes to Integral knives. He has produced some legendary models such as the Nirvana, SNAFU and Satori which are all on the larger side. The Druid is the smaller, mid-size knife in Rassenti's line up.
The integral handle made from a single piece of exotic, mesmerising Mokuti is truly exquisite. The colours of this material are unlike anything else you've seen before and the pattern is equally brilliant. Paired up with this sensational handle is a gorgeous Chad Nichols stainless Damascus with boomerang pattern. The sheepsfoot blade is dark etched to magnify the pattern and has a smooth feel to the touch.
If you're looking for a one of a kind show piece, a real head turner and the crown jewel of your collection, this is it. This full dress Druid is so unique you're not likely to see another example in anyone's possesion.
