Crown Stag Hunter. (Click for larger) This classic drop-point hunter is 1080 carbon steel, heat-treated in the Japanese manner for a hard edge and springy back. The blade has been etched to show the contrast between the hard and soft steels. The ricasso has been left rough-forged to contrast with the fine satin finish of the rest of the blade. The handle is red deer stag’s antler, with a Maccassar ebony bolster. The crown will be engraved with Celtic knotwork, and the knife comes with a leather pouch sheath. This knife is not stainless, and must be oiled regularly and cleaned and oiled after use to prevent rust. |

Scandinavian Style Working Knife. Both practical and decorative, in true Scandinavian style, blade of laminated Swedish steel, with a soft skin and very hard core. The blade is mirror polished, and has been etched to bring out the division between the steels, like a hamon. The edge is razor sharp. The handle is made from Maccassar-Ebony and reindeer antler, both of which have been carved with Celtic knotwork patterns. There is a carved spacer of cast sterling silver, set with a garnet. This piece has a pouch sheath in the traditional style. |
