Description: Collectors of Anders' work, know that he has some of the tightest tolerances of any maker anywhere. Even when faced with a difficult match such as the curved bolster and handle, Anders shines. By casting sterling silver, he is able to create fittings that integrate into the dagger, creating a true masterwork. The hamon, or clay temper line, is created by following traditional Japanese heat treating techniques, where clay is applied to the blade during the heat treat, creating a differential hardness. The result is a strong, supportive spine, with an ultra hard edge.
