Description: This dramatic hunter clearly shows the influence of knives by Mastersmiths Ed Fowler and Bill Burke. The drop point blade was forged to shape from Aaron's own twist pattern damascus. The steel has a captivating pattern, perfectly in harmony with the shape of the blade.
The handle is formed from two sections of ancient oosic which are connected by stacked black fiber and nickel silver spacers. The end of the handle, where the oosic was broken off long ago, is left with the natural rustic texture. Alternating stainless and black fiber spacers assist the handle to adjust to temperature and humidity changes, as well as adding interest to the transition between light and dark toned oosic. The spacers match the nickel silver and black fiber of the bolster. The handle feels so comfortable in the hand, it's sure to become a favorite - or even an heirloom. A serious field knife for a hunter or collector.
The knife is accompanied by a hand stitched sheath. The 9-10 oz leather has been hand tooled in a basket weave pattern.
Excellent fit and finish throughout.
