Description: Aaron Wilburn creates knives that are precision made work horses and this Loveless style bowie is a great example of his work. This particular piece was made shortly before Aaron received his Mastersmith rating in June 2013.
The clip point blade was forged to shape from Aaron's own ladder pattern damascus. This beautifully executed damascus features a high contrast undulating pattern. By forging the blade to shape, Aaron has made the patterns of the damascus complement the grind lines of the knife well. This 9 3/4 inch blade features a swedge that runs nearly the full length of the spine and is fully sharpened from the clip forward.
The handle showcases a stunning piece of amber stag. The framework and guard are made from 416 stainless steel. The guard and pins feature custom engraving by Clint Finley. Red fiber spacers assist the handle to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. The handle feels so natural in the hand, you’ll have a hard time putting it down.
The knife is accompanied by a hand stitched sheath. Excellent fit and finish throughout.
