Description:

Warenski became a full-time knifemaker in 1975. He was a president of the Knifemakers' Guild for 2 terms and a inductee to the Blade Magazine Cutlery Hall of Fame in 1992. In 1986, he was joined by his wife Julie Warenski, who took over much of the engraving. Buster Warenski died in 2005. This example measures 6 1/4 inches with the blade open, and the trailing point blade measures 2 3/4 inches with flourishes of floral scroll on each side and "WARENSKI" marked on the left. The bolster and pommel on both sides have flourishes of floral scroll engraving on a stippled background and it is fitted with smooth jade grip scales.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, the metal components bright with only the slightest handling evidence. The grips also excellent with no noticeable handling marks.
