This is a rare find.
One of Jerry Corbit's early 90's knives from when he first started making knives. He hasn't made fixed blade knives for years!!! It has 440C steel with a stag handle, brass bolsters and beautifully file worked liners.
A TRUE Jerry Corbit Classic!
Jerry Corbit started out making custom knives back in the 90's. He said this beautiful fixed blade hunter was made by him in 1994 or 1995. As most artists he learned as he went and started off simple but still impecably crafted his pieces. This fixed blade if fileworked all the way around and has a beautiful Stag grip that conforms sweetly to your hand along with a very nicely crafted slip in sheath. Jerry is now making VERY high end folders and Autos. Being a very early piece and being unusual because it's a fixed blade it's hard to put a value on it but we'll try. Some Corbit Collector might get a real steal.
