Description from the seller
Save Shipping Costs with Our Popular Combined Shipping Service
Save shipping costs with our popular combined shipping service, which is available for almost all items we offer. If you win multiple items from us within the same themed auction, please wait until Catawiki combines your won lots into one combined order with only one set of shipping costs whenever possible. If payment is completed too early, this unfortunately no longer works, because Catawiki automatically creates separate orders. In such cases, we carry out one shipment per order and unfortunately cannot refund double-paid shipping costs afterwards. We therefore highly recommend waiting until all desired auctions from the same themed auction have ended before completing payment.
Offered here is an impressive collector’s folding knife from The Franklin Mint Wildlife Collection, featuring artwork by wildlife artist Ray Beers. The handle is richly decorated with a nice wild ducks motif. A finely detailed relief of a roaring bear forms the decorative bolster, while the handle incorporates an illustrated porcelain inlay showing wild ducks in its natural wilderness habitat. The decorative metal elements are accented with 24-carat gold, giving the knife the luxurious appearance associated with Franklin Mint collector’s editions.
The knife was assembled by hand. When fully opened, the blade locks securely into position. It can be released again using the locking mechanism on the handle.
