Description: This elegant drop point hunter was hand built by Corpus Christi, TX knifemaker Stephen Scherer. Steven started making knives in 1979 and went full time after retirement in 2007.
The drop point blade was hand ground from high performing CPM-154 stainless steel. This powdered metallurgical steel has a particularly small grain structure, making it take an extremely keen edge and hold it while remaining tough and chip resistant. It features a hand rubbed satin finish and is marked on the left side with Scherer's maker's mark.
Polished hippo tooth scales are set on the full tang for strength and durability. Black fiber spacers assist the handle to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. The scales are set in place with a mosaic pin and a copper-lined lanyard loop. Bolsters are formed from mokume gane, forged from copper, brass, and nickel.
The knife is accompanied by a custom hand stitched pouch style leather sheath, ensuring this knife will stay safe on your next hunting trip.
Excellent work throughout!
