Description: Mastersmith Hank Knickmeyer is well known for creating some of the most creative and detailed Damascus found anywhere. The Damascus used throughout this gent's folder is an intricate example of Hank's "butterflies and flowers" pattern mosaic Damascus. Hank's mark, "HK", is interspersed with butterfly and flower images along with many other detailed patterns. The edge bar is "Twist" pattern Damascus forged from 1086 and 15N20 carbon steels. This mixture results in an optimal carbon ratio, which in turn leads to an edge that holds up very well under use. The handle is sculpted to echo the blade spine’s scalloped wave motif and feels natural in the hand.
The blade is perfectly centered and has optimal action. The matching twist pattern Damascus backbar is a standout feature. Rather than using liners, Hank has created a titanium locking bar that is set directly into the scales. Excellent fit and finish throughout.
