12 " "Knuckletto" Picklock With A Solid Damascus Frame

What you are seeing is a creation of Kruznn aka East Coast Sniper. He was the one who named it in the "Knuckletto" family. I will now have to post pictures of the original Knuckletto so that it makes sense. It is an 11" Frank B classic with Teflon coated blade builte into a solid Damascus steel frame, which he built and etched from SCRATCH! He swore to me that he would NEVER do it again, so this is the ONLY one. It is complete with a Birth Certificate. Enjoy!

Great piece. He's done some really outstanding work but haven't seen anything done by him in quite a while. In my humble opinion that's a keeper.

Hi Don,

I have FIVE custom pieces by Kruznn aka East Coast Sniper, and all but one have birth certs. I showed you the one without the birth cert, and that was "Wild Thang", a Mikov with wild, colorful scales and filework. I also have "Wild Thang" in a 15" Campolin classic-style stiletto. The scales are similar to the Mikov, but not the same material. I also have a bone-and-skull Mikov that he did. There are only two of that he made.

He does not DO custom knives anymore! The last time I talked to him, he told me that it was "no longer fun" for him, plus he had found a NEW hobby and passion...collecting gem-stone SKULLS! Anyway, I will be posting the BIG Knuckletto

here in a little bit, so stay tuned!!

He only made two big Knucklettos. Mine is the BEST one,

because he made it specifically for me. He was DONE, as in, stick-a-fork-in-him, kind of done. BUT he gave in to my PLEADING, and I sweetened the deal by trading him for one of my Rainy Vallatton knives!!

In hindsight, it wasn't one of the smartest things I've ever done...it was my best Vallatton!

ANY time, Don! I have come to the realization that this forum will save me on therapist and psychiatrist bills! If I share TOO much, let me know...
