Description: South African knifemaker Andre van Heerden creates an amazing folder -- and at a price that could never be found from an American maker.
This all-steel folder is among Van Heerden's most engaging knives to date. The drop point blade and scales are damascus forged by Ettoré Gianferarri. Gianferarri makes his damascus in very small quantities. His patterns are very complex and show tremendous skill. By heat bluing both blade and scales, the exceptional complexity of the damascus comes to the forefront.
The blade has smooth action and is perfectly centered between anodized titanium liners. Blue tones in the liners bring out similar tones in the damascus. Exceptional fit and finish throughout.
