Description: Master 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. Henry heat treated this blade using the same techniques -- creating exceptional edge retention.
The blade was forged to shape from 52100 carbon steel -- a steel that many knifemakers and collectors feel to have the highest performance found anywhere. The blade is hand satin finished for an heirloom quality. A distal taper results in optimal balance. The 416 stainless guard meets perfectly to the stag scales. The natural texture of the stag provides a sure, comfortable grip. Black fiber spacers assist the knife to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. The handle is completed with a steel lined lanyard hole. The knife is accompanied by a hand stitched leather sheath. Excellent fit and finish throughout.
