For your consideration is this Montana, abnormal elk tine, gigantic clip point bowie knife. This is a wonderful, well-preserved clip point bowie knife crafted from a large example of stainless steel, showing an abnormal elk tine, a wonderful treated patina, a blue gem turquoise stone, and a lovely mosaic button on the bottom of the tine. The mosaic button is composed of rectangular stones, which includes mother of pearl, abalone, orange spiny oyster, red spiny oyster, malachite, onyx, and lapis lazuli. The abnormal tine is wrapped with a string of white leather. The hilt shows an unidentified hallmark of "ICK" adorning the top of the half hilt. The condition of this knife is pristine, with a wonderfully presented elk tine handle and no obvious damage to the well-kept bowie knife. The measurements of this knife are 22" x 6 1/4" and the blade measures 10 1/2".
