Description: Swedish bladesmith Andre Andersson has an eye for design rarely found in other maker's work. The Damascus steel blade will have exceptional edge retention. Using a technique similar to the san mai (used on high end Japanese knives), Andre has forged a blade with a central core of 20C carbon steel. Surrounding this are layers of 15N20 and pure nickel, resulting in a very dramatic, high performance blade. The front bolster of the handle is formed from caramel toned willow burl. The stacked handle contains other sculpted sections of buffalo horn and willow burl with pewter spacers. Exceptional fit and finish throughout.
