This classic looking fighting knife is tight as a drum. Probably made from a file, the blade has Marek style patina, gray pebbled/small pitting scars, and swedged, saber ground, feels well balanced and has a decent edge that could be made razor sharp. The thick/full guard is hand filed. This is a powerful knife, in excellent condition.
A super addition for the collection. The maker, Robert Marek (deceased 2015), lived in Berkeley, CA. Artist, blacksmith, he made amazing knives that often looked centuries older.Mr Marek was the subject of a tv show, Strange Inheritances; and his knives are much sought after. Very collectible and most have practical use in them, if that is what you are looking for.
