Jean Tanazacq The Dean of French Knifemakers Extremely Scarce "RIX" Hunting dagger 1986 Black Micarta Handle

Description:
Jean Tanazacq's "RIX" model is a doubel edged dagger, very sharp, with a striated ricasso that encourages a very characteristic grip. This praised blade is used by big game hunters in France and Europe, and it is one of Tanazacq's jewels. The idea comes from the "Main Gauche," or "Left hand," of the 16th century swordsmen, and from the American V-42 dagger which was first manufactured by Case at a rate of 3,000 copies to equip the first American-Canadian Special Forces in 1943. The "RIX" is called a "Pig Sticker" in the U.S.. It is an extremely beautiful and appealing model done in a unique final shape and form, aesthetic, design and overall gorgeous appearance. It has an 8-5/8" blade of 440-C stainless steel blade, a solid double brass guard, black micarta handle and a matching solid brass butt cap. Wild boar hunting is very poular in France today and observed in the most purest and traditional fashion of the 16th century. This particular dagger is intended to administrate the final thrust which can only be done by a Master's Huntsmen, as such type of weaapon always had a tremedous sucess among hunters , made in  April 1986.. Brown leather scabbard with the scarce wild boar logo carving.
When it comes to "Pig Sticker" as we know them in the U.S., it is impossible to do better than these two magnificen RIX daggers, in terms of ergonomics, balance, handling and efficiency; not to mention the fluidity of their lines. The RIX dagger is considered by many collectors to be Tanazacqs top jewel in his line of knives, so does the high quality leather sheaths/scabbards that comes with any model.. Free USPS shipping with tracking # and signature required, no exchange, no return, all sales are final, sold "AS IS."
NOTE: In case you're wondering and asking the depicted model seen in the French book is actually the knife that I own.
