Last couple for now -- first, a pair of A.W. (Bill) Jones ivory knights from the late 80's. I know they look new, but they are signed, and they have just never been played or left in sunlight. Bill passed away in 2011. He was the last of the English ivory carvers, third generation of his family.

 

 

And finally, a pair of Golden Castle knights. Hope you have enjoyed!

 

 

Gorgeous knights, RC! Wow! Great collection! I especially love the Golden Castles.

The best way is to order direct from the designer, Dirk Dagobert, in Sao Paulo. There is also a Brazilian sellers' page on Facebook where you probably pick one up from Tatiane Coelho, Venda e Troca de Material de XADREZ .

And why not...? :D

The knights look especially nice grouped together in the middle of the board. :)

Thanks for reactivating this thread. Knights are the first thing I always look at. Now I have nine pages of pleasure viewing!

Let me add some to try to get to 10 pages, then:

Edit: Sigh, Chess.com's annoying rule against posting 5 times in a row has stopped the glorious parade of knights in their tracks. 😞

Oh my gosh, that is kinda adorable!

Also, ty for posting so I can add more knights. 😁

LesuhAn

Yay, we made it to page 10!
