Ralph Selvideo Custom Knife: Persian Mother of Pearl Automatic with Jerry Rados “Turkish Twist” Damascus

Ralph Selvideo's knives were considered by most serious knife collectors a must have for their collections. Since his passing many of his knives have been locked away in private collections and it is quite rare for a "Rattler" knife of this size and quality to become available on the open market.

He was well known for his collector grade automatic knives. He mostly used natural materials like fossil Ivories and various mother of pearl shells. He especially liked using damascus from some of the top forgers for his blades and bolsters.

This knife is in pure Selvidio style. This example of his work contains all of Ralph Salvideo hallmarks. The pearl handles and Damascus bolsters have been sculpted. There is a solid 14Kt Gold Face set in the spine. The anodized titanium liners have been fileworked along with the spine of this incredible art knife. On the inside of the knife there is a 14Kt Gold women set below the "Rattler" signature.

He is missed in the knifemaking community, and his Rattler brand knives have become very collectable. Ralph Salvideo' popularity has only grown since his premature death. Do not miss the opportunity to add an excellent example of Ralph Selvideo's work to your collection.
