Durvyn Howard pearl sliplock THE KNIFE: dovetailed bolsters, fileworked liners, and unique spring mechanism built on a front lock spring holding tension on the blade, but there is no lock slot on the blade itself, thus it is a sliplock, but the moving backspring is only half the length of the knife. 37/8 closed, 6 3/4 open, Marked #01, Mint. THE MAKER: For more about knifemaking artist Durvyn Howard, please see his bio on Lot 38 of this auction.
