Description: Jean Wilke is a young custom knifemaker from Pretoria, South Africa. His knives are exceptionally well designed and tested. His attention to detail is clearly evident in each of his creations. He is currently working with Mastersmiths Kevin and Heather Harvey, travelling back and forth every two weeks, alternating between working at Heavin Forge and his home forge, Fire Goby Forge. It is very exciting to see such a young man with such tremendous talent.
The blade is hand ground stainless damascus forged by BallbachDamast in Germany. The twisted Starburst pattern blade is easy to care for yet high performance. The blade is flat ground and razor sharp. The spine is domed to provide a comfortable thumb purchase.
The handle is Marula burl. The deep warm toned burl is hand contoured for a secure, comfortable grip. The guard is polished 303 stainless steel. The pommel is mosaic damascus with a polished stainless steel nut. Fileworked titanium spacers surround the wood.
Excellent work throughout!
