This custom MAB Damascus hunter, knife is made by me, Mark Buzzell (MAB), right here in Maine. This great looking knife is 6-5/8 inches overall with a 3-1/8 inch by just over 1/8 inch thick 1″ inch wide and is a 200 plus fold Twist pattern Damascus steel spear point blade with top false grind. 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 and then gun blued to help bring out the Damascus pattern and given one final polish, all done by me. The handle on this one is made from Stabilized and dyed maple burl wood, what a handle this stuff makes. The knife bolsters and spacers were made from solid brass sheet and bar stock, I also used two custom pins in the handle to match the wood color and two more in the guard. the pins are made here in the shop as well. The handle will come alive in the sun showing real depth in the in the wood grain. I took the time to hand file the top of 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 on this one to make it a very collectible piece, or a good working knife that will only gain in value as time goes by. 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 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.
