Custom Handmade Heavy Duty Double Bolster Liner Lock Auto by Shawn Vallotton, (Oakland, OR) with Color Scrimshawed Fossil Mammoth by Gary "GARBO" Williams, (Elizabethtown, KY)

This piece features Fossil Mammoth Ivory with a Color Scrimshaw scene of a Mountain Man fighting an Indian on the front side and on the back side fighting a grizzly, Excellent art work is signed "GARBO" which is what Gary Williams went by of Elizabethtown, KY. (Gary passed in 2023). Features Mirror Polished Stainless Bolsters and a 4" Mirror Polished Spear Point Dagger Style Blade made of ATS-34 Stainless. Measures 4 7/8" closed. Measures 8 3/4" overall open. 

Features Superb superfast auto action with a rock solid stainless liner lock. Heavy Duty piece weighs 9.1 oz.  Operates via leaf spring. Push Button Open with a sliding safety located directly below. Stainless liners and the kick spring are "jeweled". Maker's name "SHAWN VALLOTTON LEFT HAND MADE" is located on the front side of the blade.

Obviously Shawn specialized in left hand autos; (even though this is not a left hand model). Shawn did not make as many knives as the other Vallottons did. Shawn and Rainy were the sons of the late great knife maker Butch Vallotton. Shawn unfortunately passed away in 2016. Nearly every Vallotton is involved in knifemaking, including Butch's grandkids... Highly Recommended. A must have for those who appreciate high-end automatics.
