Description: Jim's hunting knives are as sturdy as they are elegant. A hunter himself, as well as a backwoodsman, his knives have been heavily tested in the field over the years. This knife has been in a private collection since it was made in 2003. It has been meticulously cared for and is in new condition.
The blade is forged from carbon steels into a pattern that James calls Twisted Radials. A detailed latticework has been radialed and given a slight twist. By combining 1084 and L6 carbon steels, Jim ensures that this blade will have a keen, long lasting edge.
The spalted maple handle has been stabilized, making a reliable and sturdy handle even under the difficult conditions of outdoors use. Dark spalting lines move across the bright maple background for one of the most dramatic pieces of wood that I have seen. An elaborate spacer created from mammoth ivory separated by nickel lines sits behind the damascus guard. Both the guard and butt cap are forged from damascus matching the blade. The fit and finish is excellent. The blade has been tapered for a perfect balance in the hand. Numbered C75.
The knife is accompanied by a hand tooled leather sheath.
This knife will be at home in nearly any collection but is built for heavy use.
