Description: Fred Ott creates knives that are tremendously unique and engaging. Given the fit, finish, and impact of this dagger, it is no surprise that it won Best Art Knife at the 2013 PKA Show.
The blade is a twist pattern damascus that he forged from 15N20 and 1080 carbon steels. It is a nice mix of fine and bold patterns. A swedge stretches from the bolster to the tip and has been fully sharpened.
The ironwood handle combines reddish brown tones with dark grain for a very dramatic appearance. An antiqued and textured bronze spacer is fitted next to a wide spacer made from oosik. An ebony pin sets the handle. Both the guard and finial pin are also formed from antiqued bronze. Showing a tremendous degree of craftsmanship, this knife is made with take-down construction. By loosening the finial pin, the knife can be disassembled for maintenance.
The knife is accompanied by a basswood sheath wrapped in buffalo hide. Tremendous fit and finish throughout!
