Description: Swedish knifemaker Greger Forselius has a sense of design rarely found elsewhere. When this is combined with the artistry of Mattias Styrefors, the result is exceptional. This exquisite Swedish hunter was made in the spring of 2007. It has been in a single private collection and has been meticulously cared for. By all appearances, Forselius could have made it yesterday. This is among my favorite knives ever made by Forselius.
Mattias Styrefors is well known for being one of the best damascus makers in Sweden. The multi-bar blade combines 20C and 15N20 carbon steels. A firecracker pattern edge and spine have tremendous impact.
The stacked handle is formed from a central section of cross cut ancient walrus ivory surrounded by textured masur birch and whale bone spacers. The bone and ivory are both thousands of years old. The resulting handle is comfortable in the hand and extremely captivating. Warm tones from the masur birch nicely complement the speckled earth tones of the ancient bone and ivory. The handle is nicely finished off with a stainless Damascus end cap.
The knife is accompanied by a hand tooled traditional Swedish leather sheath.
Excellent fit and finish throughout.
