Description: CarlMichael Almqvist has been a knifemaker for nearly 30 years, having crafted his first knife at 15. The many years of artistry clearly show in both the inspiration and execution of this finely wrought knife.
CarlMichael began this knife with a blade forged and ground by renowned Swedish knifemaker Thomas Lofgren. By using 20C and 15N20 carbon steels, Thomas has ensured exceptional edge holding. A resist in the shape of a feather adds tremendous detail.
The handle is as unique as it is dramatic. The ancient walrus tusk is left with its natural shape at the end of the handle. The sides are lightly carved for a dramatic appearance and feel. A front 'bolster' is formed from stabilized spalted oak. A black fiber spacer assists the handle to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. The knife snaps securely into the traditional Swedish sheath. The upper is formed from hand tooled hard leather. The bottom is formed from stabilized oak matching the handle.
Excellent fit and finish throughout.
