Blade Specifications
-
Profile: Traditional drop-point blade, offering a versatile tip and a generous belly for skinning and general utility.
-
Spine Detail: Features decorative file work or “jimping” along the thumb rest for enhanced grip and aesthetic detail.
-
Grind: A clean saber or flat grind with a distinct secondary bevel for a durable cutting edge.
-
Construction: Likely a hidden tang (or “rat-tail” tang) design, where the steel extends into the center of the handle components.
-
Choil: Small sharpening choil at the base of the blade to facilitate easy maintenance.
Handle Specifications
-
Primary Materials: A multi-layered combination of natural stag (antler) at the pommel and dark rosewood or walnut in the center.
-
Spacers: Accented with white bone or G10 spacers and thin metal liners to provide contrast between the wood and antler sections.
-
Guard: A solid Damascus steel bolster/guard that matches the blade pattern, protecting the hand from the edge.
-
Pommel: Finished with a polished metal cap (likely stainless steel or nickel silver) for balance and a clean look.
-
Ergonomics: Round, contoured profile designed for a comfortable “full-fist” grip during extended use.
Damascus Specifications
-
Pattern: A complex Raindrop or “Ladder” Damascus variation. The swirling, circular “eyes” and undulating lines are created by drilling or pressing into the billet during the forging process.
-
Visual Contrast: High-contrast etching reveals deep charcoal and bright silver layers, achieved through an acid bath.
-
Steel Type: Typically forged from a high-carbon mix such as 1095 carbon steel and 15N20 nickel steel, ensuring a balance of edge retention and toughness.
-
Layering: The density and tightness of the pattern suggest a layer count between 200 and 350 layers.
Included Accessories
-
Sheath: A heavy-duty brown leather sheath featuring decorative “basket weave” stamping, contrasting yellow stitching, and a secure snap-button retaining strap.
