Description: Swedish bladesmith Andre Andersson has an eye for design rarely found in other maker's work. The Damascus steel blade is very deeply etched for a very dramatic appearance. A 20C carbon steel center bar assures exceptional edge holding. The bolster is also formed from Andre's Damascus steel. The highly sculpted handle is formed from fossil walrus ivory, mammoth ivory, and stabilized willow root burl -- resulting in a nice mix of colors and warm tones brought in by the willow root burl. Exceptional fit and finish throughout.
