The blade is formed from Mike Norris twist pattern stainless damascus. The central ridge moves into a fuller. The blade has silky smooth, consistent action. It is perfectly centered and locks with a satisfying click. The blade effortlessly opens by pressing a button on the spine.
The meticulously carved handle is 416 stainless steel. A step down at the front of the handle creates the illusion of a longer blade. Antique shell inlays on each side of the handle are set on 24k gold leaf, creating a brilliant golden reflection. The shell was recovered from an antique jewelry box. Carved damascus and 24k gold inlays provide excellent contrast. The 416 stainless steel, inlaid damascus, and gold are hand contoured into elegant art nouveau curves. The steel throughout the handle is mirror polished.
Exceptional fit and finish throughout on a very captivating, elegant knife.
