Description: South African knifemaker, Jan Wahl, is a maker to watch. He became a full time knife maker in 2009 and joined the South African Knife Makers Guild in 2012. Jan has excellent attention to detail.
The small drop point blade is made from satin finished N690 stainless steel. N690 is a super-steel created by Bohler in Austria. It takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds on to it. Increased toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping. The blade is hollow ground for an easy to maintain edge. The spine has been nicely rounded for comfort.
Warthog tusk scales are set on a distal tapered full tang for excellent balance. The scales are nicely matched from side to side. The handle is nicely carved to swell in the middle and end for a perfect grip. It is finished with a textured and engraved stainless steel bolster.
This knife is accompanied by a hand stitched vegetable tanned leather sheath.
Excellent work throughout!
