John Howser lock back knife 3.625 inch with lighting strike carbon fiber handles ATS 34 stainless steel blade plain blade edge

Here we have a custom bullet knife made by the late Mr. John Howser. This is a Lock back Knife made by Mr. Howser with lighting strike carbon fiber handles, and feels great in your hand. You can tell this is a high quality knife, and is a beauty. John Howser sold his first knife in 1974. His specialties are slip joint folders (much like this example) of older patterned multi-blades; lock backs; hunters; and, fillet knives. This example has an ATS 34 steel blade, though John used D-2 and 440V with a hand rubbed satin finish. Throughout his life John excelled as a custom knife maker, winning best in show awards for his folding knives. He was a member of The Knife makers Guild. John’s knives are really inspiring to knife collectors and custom makers just getting into the trait, so don’t miss out on this piece of cutlery history.
