Description: Gary Rodewald is an exceptional knifemaker and this is a tremendous example of his work. Though this knife will be a high performing knife, it would be equally at home in any collection. From the clean design and excellent ergonomics, to the high fit and finish, this knife is sure to be your favorite companion while out in the field.
The drop point blade is forged from Gary's own damascus san man. Damascus sides are forged around a high performing 1080 carbon steel core, ensuring exceptional edge holding with chip resistance. The flat ground blade has excellent cutting geometry. Gary's touchmark is on the left side of the blade.
The handle is exhibition grade ringed gidgee ((Acacia cambagei). Gidgee is an exceptional wood for knife handles and is considered to be one of Australia's most beautiful timbers. It has tremendous stability even when exposed to fluctuations in humidity and temperature. It is among the densest woods in the world and has a beautiful curl similar to Hawaiian koa. The handle provides a sure, non-slip grip. The handle is perfectly fit to a satin finished 416 stainless steel guard.
To keep the knife close at hand, a hand tooled leather sheath made by Gordon Kenley is included.
Excellent work throughout!
