Description: Jonny Walker Nilsson's knives have an elegance to them that is rarely found elsewhere. This exceptional knife was made by Nillson in 2005-2006. It has been in a private collection and is in new condition. By all appearances, Jonny could have made it yesterday.
Jonny began this traditional Swedish hunter with a blade forged to shape by renowned Swedish bladesmith Mattias Styrefors. Edge and spine bars are forged from Mattias' firecracker pattern damascus. This surrounds bars of pure nickel and 20C carbon steel. Johnny regularly worked with Styrefors and has both forged and ground blades under Mattias' watchful eye.
The stacked handle combines oil rubbed masur birch, snakewood and reindeer antler surrounding each of the layers with pewter spacers. The central reindeer antler section has been hand engraved in Sami style by Nilsson. Jonny is generally regarded as among the best makers to ever make Sami inspired knives. His traditional technique is true engraving rather than scrimshaw and uses pine bark powder rubbed into deep engraved cuts for dark coloring. The detail is spectacular.
The knife is accompanied by a traditional single seamed leather Nordic sheath.
As you would expect from a maker as well known as Jonny Walker Nilsson, the fit and finish is excellent!
