Description: Sundial is one of Jeff Driscoll's masterworks, with over 300 hours spent creating this knife. Jeff Driscoll has an amazing sense of design, creating unique knives that are extremely well executed. He draws heavily on Nordic knives, using blades from the best bladesmiths from Nordic countries. His work is done primarily without the use of motorized tools, which allows him to hand-carve the handles in much more detail than would be done using motorized knifemaking tools. This knife has been in a single private collection since it was completed in 2005. It has been meticulously cared for and is in new condition. By all appearances, it could have been made yesterday.
The Andre Andersson blade was forged in Sweden from 15N20 and 20C carbon steels for exceptional edge retention and an immediately captivating appearance.
The highly sculpted hand combines sections of African blackwood, desert ironwood and thuya burl. The work is exceptional and results in a handle that is very comfortable in the hand.
The wooden sheath reflects the handle in style and is formed from Swedish masur birch. The tip conceals a mini knife with a handle formed from African blackwood. It's perfect for opening packages, envelopes, etc. Two brass pins secure the mini knife in place. All this is held by the antiqued brass presentation stand.
Excellent work throughout on a very unique and artful desk knife.
