Description: Des makes knives that have a tremendous sense of design. The Damasteel blade was hollow ground for a keen, easy to maintain edge. The blade is easily opened using the flipper. The silicon nitride for the indent and release balls came from the space program and allows the knife to be easily closed with a single hand. The bolsters are formed from stainless steel and have been textured and inlaid with 24k gold. The mother of pearl has wonderful depth and swirling texture under the mirror surface. Damascus backbar. Des' craftsmanship means that this unusual locking mechanism works smoothly and comfortably. Exceptional fit and finish throughout.
