2nd Most Expensive Knife in the World - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

im2smrt4u · 01-23-2009, 12:44 AM

I was browsing my favorite knife sites and was quite shocked to find this available for sale:

Buster Warenski's "Gem of the Orient"

Can anyone loan me a few bucks?

FYI, the most expensive knife in the world would likely be Buster's Tut Dagger, assuming it were ever sold.

Solid gold knife? Pretty, but can it actually cut anything without bending?

Meh, that's a display knife, doesn't count :P

Very pretty though.

It was work hardened so it can cut. Amazing work!

Do they sell any diamond encrusted baseball bats?

Actually, that's pretty sweet. If I ever need to kill any mythical creatures, I'm totally going to do it with that knife.

It is a neat knife, but I would have to think that some of the ancient meteoric blades would fetch more at an auction.

It looks like something straight out of the Lord of the Rings !

.......but where's the bottle opener ?

I'm pretty sure even a gold knife will still open up your innards.

What im2smrt4u didn't say is that in the world of custom knives the maker is/was (RIP) one of the best and very well respected.

He taught his wife how to engrave and shes now just as sought after as he was.

yes, a gold knife would easily bend at contact between stronger metal, such as steel and iron. BUT!!-gold won't rust like many other metals and alloys do.
