3rd (and last!) maltese-themed stiletto

[Bill DeShivs]

Here is the third of a series of three maltese-themed stilettos for a member here.
This one is a 9" and it goes with an 8" and an 11" that I did before.

Would that be a Peridot Button on that ??

Those are beautiful.

Is not having a bolster at the rear representative of a certain style of Italian stiletto, or is that your own creation?

[Bill DeShivs]

I believe the green button stone is a peridot. The blue one is sapphire. The red one might be ruby or garnet.
No rear bolsters was a customer order.

Excellent craftmanship, as always, Mr. DeShivs
Congrats to the lucky owner! You have a gorgeous set!

Very nice, they look like they are from another era antique looking

Is that a ruby or a spinel in the button?

Howdy Bill,
Thanks for posting these pics. I remember when the 11" was first posted on the SD forums. The 9" matches so perfectly, and the horn is right nice!
I got to tell you, Mr. D, your work is never half-ass impressive! Don't get me wrong, I think SloJoe Walker has an amazing hand, but your custom work always blows me away!
Absolutley beautiful, sir

Somehow, there never seems to the sameness in these knives that I might expect had I not simply marvelled at the craftsmanship so often.
I, unfortunately, am not so creative in my compliments. So: Gee, Mr. Bill, they sho' purdy!

My favorite bolsters so far on a custom.

Sorry bill, I didnt see your post when I made mine. No disrespect intended.
