Description: John Davis is considered by many to be among the best Damascus makers in the United States, and this exceptional knife shows off his work at its best. The multi-bar mosaic Damascus blade incorporates a nice mix of complex patterns. By using 1084 and 15N20 carbon steels, John assures, a keen, long lasting edge. A black lacquer technique results in a particularly stark contrast of deep blacks and bright silvers in the steel.
The desert ironwood handle is nicely rounded and fits comfortably when held. Black fiber spacers in the guard allow the handle to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. The front section of the guard is formed from Damascus. By satin finishing the sides, it nicely blends in with the nickel silver. The front face has been black lacquer finished and nicely reflects the patterns in the blade. Excellent fit and finish throughout!
