Description: An exceptional masterpiece by Fred Ott! This slender knife has tremendous presence and grace. The blade has a long swedge and has been distal tapered for optimal balance. This is accentuated by the thick spine (just under 1/4 inch!) at the ricasso. 1080 and 15N20 carbon steels have been combined into a tight twist pattern.
The handle has been sculpted from oosic and is finished off with a deep black buffalo horn end cap. The fittings are exceptional and have been sculpted from nickel silver. The collar is reminiscent of an art deco habaki. The bronze oval guard is surrounded by the blade collar and a matching ferrule. Particular attention also went into the design and execution of the sheath, which features an English kip leather wrap over a basswood scabbard. Tremendous fit and finish throughout!
