Description: Sakman Steenkamp is the son of acclaimed knife-maker Willem Steenkamp. This young custom knifemaker from South Africa has made a name for himself in the knife community. His skill level and attention to detail are quickly surpassing those of much older knifemakers.
The hand ground N690 stainless steel blade features a hand rubbed satin finish. N690 is created by Bohler in Austria. It takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds on to it. Increased toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping. The blade is hollow ground for an easy to maintain edge. It is well centered with a firm half stop -- easily opened with the right handed thumb nick.
The handle is black Richlite. A polished stainless steel shield is inlaid into the left scale. The inlay is flawless with absolutely no gaps.
Exceptional work throughout!
