Description: Jerome Anders became an ABS Journeyman Smith in June of 2002. He and his father later became the first father and son both to become mastersmiths. When a maker tests to become a journeyman, they create five knives that are the height of their work at the time. These five knives are then judged by established masters to determine if the maker's work is up to snuff. Often, prospective journeymen spend 2-3 times as long creating these five knives as they would generally do, as they know that their work will be poured over by the masters. These five knives are generally considered to be among the most collectable knives of a maker's career. This is one such knife. This knife has been in a single collection and has been meticulously cared for. It has never been used to cut and has never been sharpened. It shows no signs of wear.
The blade was hand forged from 1084 carbon steel and features a California style spear-point. The elegantly sculpted nickel silver guard and end cap accentuate the clean lines and striking details of the pearl scales. A nickel silver frame protects the carbon steel tang. A single gold pin neatly completes the overall style of the sculpted end cap. The nickel silver sheath has been perfectly fit to the knife. As you would expect, exceptional fit and finish throughout.
