Description: Journeyman Smith Scott Gallagher makes an exceptional knife. I was very excited when Mastersmith Bill Burke introduced me to Scott at the 2019 Blade Show in Atlanta. Scott's attention to detail was immediately visible in his exquisite knives. Makers that work in stone are exceptionally rare these days and Scott is doing beautiful work.
The drop point blade is made from Scott's own tiled mosaic damascus forged from 1084 and 15n20 carbon steels. The fine pattern is extremely engaging and will have you staring at it for hours! The spine of the knife has been nicely rounded for a comfort. Scott's J.S. mark is on the right side of the blade. This fully ambidextrous knife can be easily opened using the 14K gold Dellana dots that are featured on both sides of the blade. These are called 'Dellana Dots' because this innovation was originally developed by renowned knifemaker Dellana. The blade has smooth, consistent action with a firm lockup.
The handle is formed from polished 416 stainless steel that is meticulously inlaid with stunning sections of Edward's black jade. This extremely rare color of jade was discovered in 1958 by gold prospector and avid rock hound James Newton Edwards. Edward's black jade is significantly harder than most Wyoming jade and is a true jet black color instead of the more typical shades of green. The frame and backbar are perfectly fit together with no seams or gaps.
Exceptional work throughout!
