Description: Aaron Wilburn was honored as a ABS Journeyman Smith in June of 2009. This unique rasp knife shows his forging skills at their best. The high carbon rasp texture remains along the flats. The integral choil is nicely rounded for an extremely comfortable grip. Along the front, it shows the continued rasp texture. The drop point blade was differentially heat treated, resulting in a soft, supportive spine, and keen, long lasting edge.
The full tang has been distal tapered for optimal balance. Red fiber spacers assist the fossil walrus ivory grips to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. Three domed nickel silver pins and a lanyard hole complete the presentation. A serious field knife for the avid hunter or collector.
The knife is accompanied by a hand stitched pouch style leather sheath.
Excellent fit and finish throughout.
