This custom damascus Gut Hook hunting knife is made by me, Mark Buzzell (MAB), right here in Maine. This great looking knife is 7-1/2″ inches overall with a 3-5/8 inch Gut Hook blade by 1/8 inch thick and 1-1/4 inch wide 200 plus fold Large X pattern damascus steel blade. 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 58, then acid etched to help bring out the damascus pattern, and given one final polish. The handle on this one is made from stabilized and double dyed maple burl wood with some great colors and burls, your handle will come alive outside in the sun with tons of colors. The knife bolsters and handles are held in place with three custom pins in the hanlde and two copper pins in the bolsters, the guard and spacers were made from solid brass bar and sheet stock and shaped to the handle by hand. I then hand filed the top of the blade with my “thorn” pattern and the handle in my 'double wave' pattern. 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 along with the fit and finish on this one to make it a very collectible piece, or a good working custom knife. Your custom knife will come with the custom brown leather belt sheath made by Carl Thomas of Mississippi, your custom 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.
