Description: Mastersmith Hank Knickmeyer is well known for creating some of the most detailed and dramatic Damascus found anywhere and this hunter shows off his work at its best.
The blade was forged using a san mai technique. Using this difficult Japanese blade form, a central bar of steel is forged between two other bars of steel. Bringing the form to an even higher level, the central bar of steel of this hunter is many layered linear Damascus. The side bars are a complex mosaic Damascus showing off running deer and Hank's HK signature forged into the steel. The Damascus is high contrast and could be inspected for hours! The handle is formed from a solid piece of fossil walrus ivory. Cream, caramel, and blue tones interweave in the exceptional tusk. Tremendous fit and finish throughout!
