MERINO RAM HORN HANDLE DAMASCUS BLADE HUNTER WITH FILE WORK

This is another custom MAB Damascus modified drop point hunter made by me Mark Buzzell right here in Carmel Maine. This hunter is 7″ inch overall with a 3-1/2″ inch blade and 1″ inch wide and just under 3/16″ inch thick. The Damascus used is a 200 plus fold Wave pattern Damascus, The Knife is stamped with my MAB logo as the maker of this fine custom knife. The Knife was made from bar stock damascus billet, The billet was shaped, Ground, Polished, Oil quenched hardened and tempered to a Rockwell of 58, Then acid dipped to help bring out the Damascus pattern, Then gun blued to show off the Damascus pattern. Knife is a full tang construction so it will hold up in the field if you decide to give it some use. The handle on this one is made from some rare Merino ram horn, With custom pins in the guard and handle, The merino ram horn almost always has deep groves with heavy bark in the groves, This set was nice and thick and sanded down to make for a smooth glass look on the handles with just some hints of brown color making the horn on this one rare. All the brass spacers and guard are made from flat brass and bar and sheet stock and shaped to the knife by hand. The handle on this one fits great in your hand. Knife was hand sanded form 220 grit to 1,200 grit for a glass look on the handle. I also hand filed the knife blade in my “Double Wave” pattern and the handle in my “Vine” pattern. All my file work is done by hand with a round file and a half round file, Not with a dremel like some knife builders do and call file worked. so as you can see I put a lot of time into every one of my knives from fit and finish, To file work, So each knife can be used in the field or saved as a collectors piece for years to come. Your knife’s custom sheath was made by Carl Thomas of mississippi. Your knife will ship in a zip up knife case and come with a coa and a dvd telling more about the knife, Time spent when it was made and so on. This one of a kind should last a good many life times.
