This knife has a ten and three-quarter inch feather patterned Damascus blade forged by maker from 1075 and 15N20 steels. It is unique in that it is the longest feather patterned blade I have made to this date. The knife has a 416 stainless steel guard, frame handle construction, front and rear bolsters. Guard and bolsters are engraved and 24K gold inlayed by Steve Dunn of Smiths Grove, Kentucky. The handle is made from fossilized mammoth ivory and secured with five 14K gold pins. A custom sheath accompanies this knife.
