Description: Knives made by Mastersmith Wade Colter have become increasingly hard to come by over the last several years. He is one of the greatest masters of the forge and has a fit and finish that is hard to match. This folding liner lock is one of my favorite folders that I have ever had.
By selecting 15N20 and 1084, Wade has assured an optimal carbon ratio. The result is an edge that will stay sharp with extended use. The bolster and blade are matching and have been nitre blued with a deep blue at the center and moving through purple and gold tones as the coloring moves to the sides. Both the blade and bolster have been carved for tremendous detail. The 15N20 liners have been heat blued to tones matching the blade and bolster. They have been heavily fileworked. The 1084 carbon steel backbar has also been heat blued to match the blade and liners and features vine pattern filework both inside and out. The fossil walrus ivory scales are burnt cream toned with hints of caramel. They have been sculpted into the bloom of Persian Wheat. The screws and thumb stud have been heat blued to golden tones and are fully fileworked. The fit and finish is exceptional, with a well centered blade and silky smooth action.
