Description: Brazilian bladesmith Luciano Dorneles is perhaps best known for his integral knives. This knife is forged from one single piece of Damascus steel. This technique shows tremendous skill and ingenuity. On a Damascus knife, this is a particularly dramatic effect because the Damascus of the blade continues into the bolster and tang seamlessly. Sheep horn scales sit on a distal tapered tang, resulting in an optimal balance in the hand. Two nickel silver pins finish off this exceptional knife. Excellent fit and finish throughout.
