Mick Wardell Jigged-Bone Scales

A Masterclass in British Bladesmithing: Mick Wardell Lock Back Knife with Jigbone Handle

A Blade Forged in Tradition and Precision

This Mick Wardell Lock Back knife with Jigbone scale handle is more than a collector’s item—it's a fusion of tradition and expert craftsmanship. Forged in the United Kingdom by one of Britain’s finest makers, this knife features a 7.5cm Damascus blade with detailed spine work. Moreover, the forward thumb rest adds both control and comfort in use.

Notably, the integral liners flow directly into the bolsters, which are decorated with intricate Celtic scrollwork. These are carefully dovetailed into creamy jigged bone handle onlays, all secured with steel pins. As a result, the finish is seamless and refined. This isn’t just about good looks—it's about lasting quality you can feel.

Designed to Impress, Built to Endure

From the moment you pick it up, this knife speaks volumes. The lock back mechanism closes with purpose, while the textured grip offers confidence during use. In addition, the detailed craftsmanship ensures that it doesn’t just perform well—it looks incredible doing it.

Equally important is the included hand-stitched leather pouch. This thoughtful addition makes it ready for carry or display straight out of the box. Whether you’re a collector or an enthusiast, this knife fits the bill.
