The legendary story of the Eugene Stone knife lives on with this replica offered by KA-BAR Knives and Bill Stone.
Using his father’s original casts to make the famous skull and cobra handles, Bill Stone touched each and every one of these knives, hand finishing them before sending the blades to be blued.
The end result is stunning. The handle is a gorgeous, shiny silver while the blades are a beautifully rich, deep shade of blue that sometimes looks black or silver in photography, depending on the lighting. Sold with JRE semi-custom leather sheath and Gerstner golden oak case with nickel corners, hinges and draw latch. Each knife comes with a certificate of authenticity, a DVD of Bill Stone telling his father’s story and how he came to work with KA-BAR on this limited edition project, and custom-designed packaging.
Each one of these Ka-Bar 1217 Eugene Stone knives hand made by Bill Stone are limited and are 1 of 350 manufactured.
Proudly Made in the USA.
