This is a fully functional, solid, American, 100% Hand Made working knife.... But who would DO that!?!?!


The billet was hand forged by Gene Martin, of Provision Forge, in Williams Oregon. I got it from him in a big, rough, raw, grinder belt eating, CHUNK of damascus. I ground and ground and ground, and found this shape inside it.

Bored, skeletonized, and bullnosed and then heat treated.

Then edged razor sharp, etched deep, and polished back out.

I decided I wanted the steel to be the showpiece, and as such, I tapered the handle heavy and fitted it with pieces that served more like inlays in a scale, than the scales themselves. The result is classy and really, really Uber-Cool! I feels absolutely barbarian in the hand, in a smooth sexy polished sort of way...

The main grip material is red carbon lined Musk Ox Horn Tip. Then, I turned pre-ban Elephant ivory on the lathe and made the pins by hand.

The butt patch segment is also Elephant ivory, and to maintain the theme, I turned Musk Ox horn on the lathe and made the pin for that.

So the heart of the Knife is American Handmade Bladesmith Forged Damascus Steel. Stock removal formed, bored, and finished all by hand. 10" OAL. 4 3/4" cutting edge.

The Grip is nothing but Musk Ox and Elephant Ivory with a thin layer of carbon for color.

The sheath is black and saddle tan leather, ornamented and skeletonized, and designed for the right hip.
