Description: This Patagonia Fighter was made by Argentinian brothers Claudio, Ariel, and Marcelo Sobral. Large ornate knives such as this are a hallmark of their work, from the intricate damascus blade, to the dramatic integral guard and handle. Patagonia is sure to impress anyone who picks it up!
The upswept recurve blade is hand forged damascus, combining 1095 and 15n20 carbon steels ensuring excellent edge holding and chip resistance. Complex fullers travel along both sides of the blade. The CAS mark is hand engraved and inlaid with 24k gold. Because this knife is made from carbon steels, we recommend using camellia oil to oil the blade and natural wood handle.
The damascus pattern moves seamlessly into the integral damascus bolster. Creating integral knives takes a particularly talented bladesmith when done in a custom setting. With this knife, the blade, guard, tang, and pommel are all formed from one piece! The guard and pommel have been skillfully carved and inlaid with 24k gold. Ironwood handle scales are secured to the frame using hand domed pins. Desert ironwood (Olneya tesota) is a rare wood that is only found in the valleys of the Sonoran Desert below 2,500 foot elevation. It is extremely dense and durable. In fact it is so dense, that if a piece is dropped in water it will sink! The handle of this knife is extremely comfortable. This knife gives off an overwhelming presence that makes anybody nearby want to pick it up!
To keep the knife close at hand, a hand tooled leather sheath and leather storage case is included.
Exceptional work throughout!
