Description

Bill Luckett Prototype Black Widow Knife with Sheath


6" blade length. 5.75" hilt. 12.5" overall with sheath and hilt. Single edge recurve knife with polished blade featuring hidden tang construction using laminated wood finger rest grips with black synthetic, brass, and German Silver plated spacers. Right ricasso is engraved Luckett/PROTOTYPE, and the backstrap is further engraved Black Widow in cursive script. Item comes in a tooled leather sheath with black stained back and brown face featuring tooled leather border and pebble designs.

A knifemaker since 1975, Bill Luckett takes pride in manufacturing knives entirely guided by hand, allowing him to make them with a distinctive exaggerated style. Though he offers knives in certain models, they are all produced by hand with the buyer's desires in mind.
