Bob Jones One Of A Kind Fixed Blade 7inch Knife Free Ship

  

This is a custom fixed-blade knife by Bob Jones B. Handcrafted Knives of Albuquerque, New Mexico. He worked from roughly 1960 until his death in 2006, was a member of the Knifemakers' Guild, and marked blades with "BJ" (sometimes in an oval or plain). Listings and directories consistently identify him as a New Mexico maker known for custom folders and fixed blades. Markings: Clear "BJ" stamp visible on the blade near the bolster.

The leather sheath is labeled BOB JONES ENGR. Type: Small fixed-blade (likely a utility, skinner, or gentleman's knife). From the tape measure in your photo, overall length is roughly 6.5-7 inches. Blade: Polished stainless or high-carbon steel with a drop-point or similar profile.

Clean grind and finish; the wavy lines visible are likely reflections or light etching. Handle: Dark reddish-brown wood scales (possibly rosewood or similar dense hardwood) with white or light-colored pins. Bolster: Ornate nickel silver (or similar) bolster with hand-engraved floral/scrollwork on both sides. High-detail traditional engraving style that elevates the piece.

Sheath: Brown leather with decorative edge stitching and a fitted shape. Label is original or contemporary to the knife. Bob Jones produced one-of-a-kind handmade knives over a long career.

His work appears regularly in custom knife collections and sales, often with quality materials, filework on folders, and detailed bolsters. This example is a solid representative of his fixed-blade output: functional size, attractive wood, and distinctive engraved bolster rather than a plain production knife. Similar Bob Jones pieces (folders and fixed blades with "BJ" marks) typically trade in the low-to-mid hundreds of dollars depending on condition, materials, and exact features. The engraved bolster and matching labeled sheath add collector appeal. Care: Wipe the blade and lightly oil it; avoid abrasive cleaners on the engraving or polished surfaces. Store the knife dry in the sheath or a dry environment. This is a genuine custom piece from a recognized New Mexico Knifemakers' Guild maker. If you have more close-ups of any other stamps, the edge, or the reverse side of the bolster, more details can be refined.
