Description: South African knifemaker, Jan Wahl, is a maker to watch. He became a full time knife maker in 2009 and joined the South African Knife Makers Guild in 2012. Jan has excellent attention to detail. This knife has a great sense of balance.
The blade is formed from premium Bohler M390 powdered stainless steel for the extreme edge retention, high strength, and toughness that a hard-use knife demands. Because of its uniform microstructure and stainless properties, M390 is often used in surgical cutting instruments and other applications that require a high finish. The blade is hollow ground for an easy to maintain edge The spine has been nicely rounded for comfort.
Stabilized maple burl scales are set on a distal tapered full tang for excellent balance. The scales are perfectly matched from side to side. The handle is nicely carved to swell in the middle and end for a perfect grip. It is finished with a textured stainless steel bolster.
This knife is accompanied by a vegetable tanned leather sheath.
Excellent work throughout!
