I'm speechless I just love this piece I watched it get relisted for maybe 3 or 4 months with a straight BIN no make offer. Then the other day I messaged the seller and made an offer anyway and they accepted. I am so happy I hope you all enjoy the pics as much as I am enjoying this knife.

That is a really cool knife. I especially like the jigging pattern.

Re: I*XL Wostenholm
I am speechless! Have never seen a Wostenholm stamped in an arch.Does it have an E on the end of the name? If it does it likely dates into the late 18th century! The work(forget what it's called)on the scales is stunning!
EDIT: It's called,"scratting"

Re: I*XL Wostenholm
That is a superb knife. That work on the handle is just incredible for a knife intended to be used. I have never seen the tern scratting, I would have called it checkering since it is more like what I see on gun stocks than knives, but in any case it is incredible!

Have you seen my post for“Wilson Ibberson” ?
The two knives are very similar mind being (it appears) to be slightly larger but yours is in better condition.
A fantastic knife.
