Description: Mastersmith Jay Hendrickson's knives have always inspired me. There is a gentlemanly elegance to his work that matches his personality. The antiqued wood and fine silver inlay give an heirloom quality to this exceptional Jay Hendrickson damascus hunter. This knife was made by Hendrickson in 2012. It has been in a private collection since it was made. It has been meticulously cared for and is in new condition. By all appearances, Jay could have made it yesterday.
Jay began by hand forging the blade from his own carbon steel damascus. The appleseed grind is a hallmark of Jay's hand forged knives. A clear differential heat treatment line travels along the blade, showing the transition between soft, supportive spine and the keen, hard edge steel. Jay believes strongly in the hand forging process and it clearly shows in his work. By forging the blade to shape, Jay ensures optimal edge retention.
The handle is presentation grade curly maple. Scrolls of fine silver are meticulously inlaid into each side. The shaping of the maple feels great in hand. The stainless steel bolster is hand fileworked in a vine pattern. It adds a beautiful transition from the silver inlaid handle to the damascus blade.
All finishing and embellishments -- of both the knife and sheath -- are completed by Jay. This knife is accompanied by a hand tooled, high quality brown leather sheath lined with bass wood.
