Best of Show Award

"The Fire Within" A stunning AA - Ammolite inlay is one of the highlights of this large folding dagger. Rare and beautiful, Ammonite's iridescent colors glow with the beauty of the rainbow and have chatoyancy similar to a premium opal. Both inlays have colors, ranging from green, red, orange and blues. The Ammolite is set into Mammoth Ivory,

in a mostly cream color. While the ivory has selective age marks on it, it is not distracting, rather the opposite. A large rhombic texture was carved into the handle which serves a dual purpose. One being to break up the flat area on the handle material, the other to add the user in holding the knife more securely. The top cutout on the handle gives access to the blade and with the push of a finger the liner lock can also become a flipper for emergency use. The dagger blade was created from Chris Marks "Stars & Stripes" Damascus, with a leave shaped blade design. The unique 14 ct gold wire thumb stud creates that "it belongs there" feeling. Chris Marks spider web Damascus has been heat colored to flows well with the overall design. The bail is 14 CT gold wire with a cast 14 CT gold nugget in it. Highly polished Hematite cubes are used a spacers in the titanium liners wich have been file worked and anodized, as well as jeweled on the inside. In case you haven't noticed, a real treat is that there are no visible screws, yet the folder can be totally disassembled from the inside out.

Shipping and Returns

Shipping & Returns

Simply all orders will be shipped insured via Canada Post or courier and will be individually packed for secure shipping.

Little known facts about shipping: FOB (ownership transfer point) is when the product is given to the shipping agent (carrier). Delivery to a carrier constitutes delivery to the customer, and risk of loss or damage to the products passes to the customer at this point. Products paid for and held by Haslinger Knives at customer’s request will be held at customer’s risk and expense. All loss and damage issues must be settled with the shipper. If needed, I will assist you to resolve any shipper disputes, though this process can be lengthy, so your patience is appreciated.

Returns

If you are not pleased with your order, please contact me — I will gladly assist. No returns on custom or personalized orders.

Returns must be approved and sent back in original condition, with all items included, securely packed and insured within 3 days of delivery. No used or altered items will be accepted. A restocking charge of 25% will apply. I do not accept COD returns. Items must be returned by regular mail, insured. Any other approved exchanges or returns are subject to customer liability for freight costs. Contact me before sending any returns.

International Customers

I welcome international purchases. Lost international shipments will not be replaced. Shipping insurance is recommended. Customers are responsible for all import duties, taxes, and required documents in their country.

All international shipments are sent via Canada Post or courier. Upon request, I can ship via other methods (which may be costly). Rates can be found on your carrier’s website. Non-deliverable parcels returned to me will incur return shipping charges billed to the customer.

If you want insurance, I will purchase it and bill you accordingly. All international purchases will be invoiced via PayPal. A PayPal account is not required to pay this invoice.

Customs and import regulations are governed by your country’s laws. It is your responsibility to be aware of import restrictions. Some materials may require extra documentation; I will help source this if informed. However, this does not guarantee your country allows import. Not responsible for items seized by customs officials.

Important: I will not undervalue shipments or mark them as gifts.
