Description: Journeyman Smith Henry Torres had the opportunity to work under renowned bladesmith Bill Burke in 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. Henry heat treated this blade using the same technique -- creating a differentially heat treated blade with a hard edge and softer, supportive spine. The result is exceptional.
The drop point blade was forged from Henry's own Damascus steel. He began with 15N20 and 1084 carbon steels. The stainless steel guard and black 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. Excellent fit and finish throughout.
