This MAB custom small hunting knife is made by me, Mark Buzzell (MAB), right here in Maine. This great looking knife is 6-1/4 inches overall with a 3-1/4″ inch by 1/8 inch thick and 1 inch wide blade, And 3-1/8″ inch cutting edge. The blade is a 45 plus fold random line pattern damascus steel. The knife blade is marked with my MAB logo as the maker of this fine knife. This knife was made from a bar stock damascus billet. The knife billets are shaped, ground, polished, oil quenched hardened and tempered to rockwell 57 to 58, then acid etched to help bring out the damascus pattern. Then given one final polish all done by me. The handle on this one is made from some exhibition grade stabilized giraffe bone, the bone has some nice light cracks with an orange and cream color. The bone has been stabilized to protect them. The knife bolsters and spacers were made from solid Copper bar and sheet stock, I also used three custom copper pins in the handle to add to the giraffe bone color. I also hand filed the top of the blade with my “walking lizard” pattern and the top of the handle in my 'vine' pattern. It’s all done by hand with a chain saw file and a small triangle file. I do not use a dremel tool like some knife builders, and then call it file work, so you can see I put a lot of time just in the file work on this one to make it a very collectible piece. Your knife will come with the custom brown leather belt sheath made by Carl Thomas, your knife will also come with a black zip up knife case for storing your custom knife when it's not in use. All my custom knives come with a hand signed COA and DVD telling more about the knife, when it's was made time spent and so on. This one of a kind should last a good many lifetimes and would make a great gift for the knife collector that thought they had everything. $6.00 shipping by priority mail with delivery conformation and insurance.
