Description: Salem Straub is a bladesmith living in Washington State. He has a tremendous amount of skill at the forge and a great sense of design. This Integral Hunter brings together his skills at their best!
The drop point blade was forged to shape from Salem's own multi-bar twisted damascus. The combined twist patterns were set in opposing directions creating the elegant Turkish Twist. The blade seamlessly travels into the integral damascus guard. Creating an integral guard in a handmade knife shows particular skill at the forge and Straub has done this to perfection.
The contoured handle is formed from stabilized buckeye burl. The wood has tremendous swirling figure that nicely reflects the twisted damascus. The handle is nicely shaped for a secure, comfortable grip.
Absolutely exceptional!
