Description: Michael Almqvist has been a knifemaker for nearly 30 years, having crafted his first knife at 15. The many years of artistry clearly show in this exceptional Swedish puukko.
The multi-bar composite Damascus blade was forged by renowned Swedish bladesmith Roger Bergh. Roger is among Sweden's best bladesmiths -- showing tremendous control over the Damascus. An explosion pattern edge and spine surround a reptilian scales pattern center bar. Edge and spine bars are forged from 20C and 15N20 carbon steels for a keen, long lasting edge. As is traditional in Nordic countries, the blade is created by a true master of the forge, whereas the handle is created by a knifemaker who has focused exclusively on that. This focus allows an amazing level of skill to be developed.
The handle is exceptional and unique. Swedish masur birch is contrasted with black oak. Both have been stabilized for longevity. A central section of masur birch is suspended in the handle with brass pins. The handle is nicely rounded and provides a comfortable, sure hold. The knife snaps securely into the sheath. Excellent fit and finish throughout.
