1980s RANDALL THORPE CONAN SCRIMSHAW Frazetta

Here is a MASTER PIECE I purchased from a avid outdoors man who admires Frank Frazetta art work...
If you never heard of Frank Frazetta I highly recommend you google him.. He was an amazing artist(he has passed on) and I would have to say most popular Fantasy artist in history in the our century..

This knife was commission by the original owner and there were 5 others knives with Frazetta scrimshawed artwork.. The SCRIMSHAW ARTIST did a outstanding job.. His name Saggio ..

His work stands with the best of the best...

I am a big conan fan so I purchased this one.. I wanted the rest, but could not afford it..
The handle material is IVORY, but when compared to 1960 IVORY there is a difference in my eyes.. I see a difference with whateveer coating the used 50 years ago vs no.. Maybe its the polish wearing off.. However i enjoy the looks of both eras..
