Description: Journeyman Smith Henry Torres had the opportunity to work under renowned bladesmith Bill Burke in the spring of 2006. This allowed him to best understand Bill's techniques of heat treating and implementation, which result in a level of edge holding rarely found elsewhere. With the sheep horn handle, Bill's influence is clearly visible.
The drop point blade was forged from 5160 carbon steel. Meticulous hand satin finish. Sheep horn scales sit on a full tang. Red fiber spacers allow the handle to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. When wet, sheep horn does not become slippery, and it is amazingly durable. Both the blade and tang have been distal tapered, resulting in an optimal balance. Excellent fit and finish throughout.
