Description: Corrie Schoeman has once again created a captivating one-of-a-kind folder. The blade is a tight, high contrast ladder pattern damascus. The precision damascus was forged by renowned South African bladesmith Bertie Rietveld and shows tremendous control over the steel. Fossilized mammoth ivory scales rest on titanium liners. Liners, backbar, and spine have all been hand fileworked, leaving textures that are interesting to the eye and hand. The thumb stud and the elegantly fileworked back bar both sport inset rubies. The bronze bolsters are carved and textured in a way that elegantly complements the cream toned mammoth ivory. D'Vour is an excellent example of Schoeman’s handiwork, and his attention to detail has once again accomplished something well and truly special that will catch the eye of any collector.
