Description: Wade's knives have a spirit of their own. Part of this is the amazing fit and finish found on all his knives, but much of it is not entirely able to be captured.
This year, Wade has been focusing on creating chatoyancy in his Damascus. This effect, found naturally in tiger's eye gemstones and exhibition curly maple, is rarely captured in Damascus. Here, it is has been created perfectly. The spine has been fileworked with a vine pattern and is stamped with Wade's initials. A strong distal taper gives excellent balance. The blade leads into a nickel silver guard and ferrule. The antiqued mule deer handle provides a secure and comfortable hand hold.
