Description: Mastersmith Jay Hendrickson's knives have always inspired me. There is a gentlemanly elegance to his work that matches his personality. Fine silver scrolls are inlaid into presentation grade the curly maple wood handle. The wood gives an heirloom quality to this exceptional Jay Hendrickson Trailing Point Hunter.
Jay began by forging the 80CrV2 carbon steel blade closely to shape. 80CrV2 combines high edge retention with phenomenal chip resistance, offering the best of both worlds. Because the blade is made from carbon steel, we recommend using camellia oil to prevent rust. The appleseed grind is a hallmark of Jay's work. A clear differential heat treatment line travels along the blade, showing the transition between soft, supportive spine and the keen, hard edge. Jay believes strongly in the hand forging process and it clearly shows in his work. By forging the blade to shape, Jay ensures optimal edge retention.
The handle is formed from presentation grade curly maple. Scrolls of fine silver are meticulously inlaid into each side of the maple. The contoured maple feels great in hand. The handle is finished with a guard and endcap formed from moose antler and a rounded peened nut to secure the tang.
To keep the knife close at hand, Jay created a Nordic inspired sheath. The sheath combines matching curly maple with a leather upper. Scrolls and a Celtic Trinity knot are inlaid into the wood using fine silver. A swinger style belt loop allows the sheath to move out of the way when sitting down.
Excellent work throughout!
