Description: Michael Almqvist has been a knifemaker for nearly 30 years, having crafted his first knife at 15. The many years of artistry clearly show in this exceptional Swedish puukko.
The damascus blade is a tight twisted explosion pattern that Almqvist forged from 20C and 15N20 carbon steels.
The handle is exceptional and unique. A Swedish masur birch 'bolster' nicely compliments the spalted birch main section. A central mammoth ivory spacer adds contrast. Black fiber spacers assist the handle to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. The handle is nicely rounded and provides a comfortable, sure hold. The knife snaps securely into the sheath. Excellent fit and finish throughout.
