Description: This exceptional folder is the work of South African knifemaker Andre Thorburn. The blade and bolsters feature Damascus by bladesmith Ettoré Gianferarri. His patterns are unique and created in very small runs so that the same Damascus is rarely seen on multiple folders. The patterns are exceptional. The nitre bluing process produces a deep blue toned Damascus with stark silver streaks moving across it.
Caramel toned fossil mammoth ivory scales are dovetailed to the bolsters for a perfect fit. Both rest on blue anodized titanium liners. These have been fileworked in a tight vine pattern. The thumbstud has been inlaid with pearl. Excellent fit and finish throughout with smooth action.
Accompanied by certificate from the maker.
