Sheath: Hand-carved leather inlaid with ringmark Lizard skin
Knife: Here's a great knife commissioned
by one of my favorite clients. The Khensu design is a hybrid,
based on my Stealth blade and my Diacria handle. This is a
large, meaty, yet slender knife, and I love how it came out. The
blade is high chromium, low maintenance 440C for greatest
longevity with a beautiful mirror finish. The lines of this
knife are clean and crisp, the grind termination is sweeping and
matched, with an even hollow grind throughout the blade length,
but with plenty of thickness at the point for strength. The
blade is fileworked completely, with a tight pattern at the
blade spine and evolving to a simpler pattern around the handle
and on the inside of the handle to the choil for visual
interest. The blade has a powerful forefinger ring: rounded,
smoothed, and mirror polished for a comfortable feel. Above and
around the ring are the sculpted front bolsters, mirror finished
and made of zero maintenance, tough, hard 304 stainless steel.
The rear bolster has a bit of hawk's bill quillon, for an easy
grab and secure hold, with a through-tang lanyard hole. The
dovetailed bolsters hold a pair of beautiful polished Cuprite
Mosaic gemstone handle scales, a striking mixture of Copper Ore,
White Quartz, Malachite, Chrisocolla, and Turquoise. What a
beautiful piece of rock, for this graceful, elegant blade.
Sheath: The sheath for this knife had to
be commensurate with the quality of the blade and handle, so I
went wit a full panel inlay set of rich brown ringmark lizard
skin in hand-carved 9 - 10 oz. leather shoulder, hand stitched,
lacquered and sealed. The knife alone is a work of art; take a
good look at the pictures.
