Operating out of Nashville, AR., James Cook has held Master Bladesmith status since 1991. 6 1/10" blade, with a straight sharpened 3 1/4" false edge, "MS" in script on the right ricasso and "J.R./ COOK" on the left. Nickel hilt fittings with professionally oxidized lower contrasting areas and a smooth two-piece wraparound ivory grip. With a custom sheath from Rowe's Leather in Arkansas, brown leather with white stitching and tooled oak leaf and acorn designs on the front.

Excellent, with a few light sharpening marks and spotting on the blade. Grip is excellent, with a tiny chip on the back near the top and some spreading of the seam at the front. Sheath is excellent, with a few light scuffs.
