Custom sheath knife marked Draper Ephraim, Utah, with finely made 5" thick steel blade, elephant ivory grips, brass mount with colored spacers originally inscribed "Herb Glass from Elmer Keith", with tooled leatherscabbard. This exact knife was sold by Little John's approximately 5 years ago for legendary Colt dealer Herb Glass who was our consigner. Glass was a contemporary of Elmer Keith and enjoyed his writings andlong-winded stories. Elmer Keith was internationally known for his shooting abilities, authorship of articles and books pertaining to guns, and his numerable exploits in the west; whereas he normallyconcluded a tale or began it with his legendary quote "Hell, I was there!". This knife fetched $9,000 at auction when last sold, in spirited bidding between our consigner and Robert Petersen, publisher of"Guns and Ammo", whom Keith had worked for over a period of nearly 30 years. The knife is very finely made and ground and shows knuckle guards, and is very sturdily constructed to be used for self defense or
