This northern-style knife features a hidden tang take-down construction — one of the most technically challenging builds I've ever taken on. It pushed me to grow in both skill and precision, making it a true milestone in my journey as a maker.
The blade is 1084/15n20 multibar twisted damascus forged by Emiliano Fetel. The bolster and the handle nut is damascus as well. All the parts are heat treated to 60 HRC. The handle is stabilized maple burl with a bronze accent. The sheath is bovine leather, hand tooled, stitched and with a damascus pearl.
The damascus is etched in ferric chloride, darkened in instant coffee and protected with pure carnauba wax. The ricasso of the blade is inlayed into the front of the bolster to have the same exact position every time the knife is disassembled and put back together. To this mean, the handle is also aligned to the bolster with four 52100 internal pins and the handle is bedded in epoxy to have it snugly fit to the tang. I had the damascus handle nut hosted in a bronze accent at the end of the handle to avoid the hard steel to contact the wood directly.
Blade length: 13 cm (7 inch)
Blade thickness: 5 mm (3/16 inch)
OAL: 26 cm (14 inch)
