Description: Master Smith Henry Torres had the opportunity to work under renowned bladesmith Bill Burke in the spring of 2006 and Bill's influence continues to clearly show through his work today. 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. Additionally, with the sheep horn handle, Bill's influence is clearly visible.
The drop point blade was forged from 52100 carbon steel. A differential heat treatment is clearly visible in the steel and results in exceptionally long edge holding. Sheep horn scales sit on a full tang. When wet, sheep horn does not become slippery, and it is amazingly durable. By using the outer bark of the sheephorn, Henry has made the handle all the more 'grippy'. Mosaic pins finish out the handle. Excellent fit and finish throughout.
