Description: This bowie was made by Maximiliano Pescie (b. 1977). Maximiliano was born and still lives in a small, quiet town called Roque Pérez, in the Buenos Aires province of Argentina. Pescie started making knives in 2014 and has been learning and evolving his techniques since then, finding a fascination for forging damascus steel. He is currently a full time knifemaker and focuses his work on a refined stye with high details and exquisite fit and finish.
The blade is forged from Pescie's own mosaic damascus, combining 1070 and 15N20 carbon steels to ensure excellent edge holding and chip resistance. The pattern is high contrast and immediately engaging - showing tremendous skill at the forge. The top edge can be fully sharpened if desired. Pescie's touchmark is on the left side of the blade. The spine is hand engraved and inlaid with 24K gold. Because the blade is forged from carbon steel, we recommend using camellia oil to protect the blade from rust.
The handle is Arizona desert ironwood sculpted to provide a comfortable grip. 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 guard, pommel, and end cap are blued 5160 carbon steel. The end cap and spacer are engraved and inlaid with 24K gold.
To keep the knife close at hand, a hand stitched and tooled leather sheath made by Pescie is included. A premium leather zipper case is also included to safely store the knife.
Excellent work throughout!
