Item Description
Blade 3.25"L. Handle 4.5"L, 1.5" W. Sheath 11.5"L. Knife handle is Curly Birch from Norway, purchased from Gene Tokheim. The blade is laminated steel, forged by K.J. Groven. The sheath is constituted with hafl-tanned leather (German) and American Holly--the whitest wood in the world. Scott designed the sheath and belt loop into a single piece of leather eliminating a weak transition from loop to sheath. The American Holly is kolrosed with Sami-style designs. Scott added, "I designed this knife to be a reflection of four of lifes essentials--food, water, shelter, and a good, sharp knife." Blade branded with SKJ. Sheath is numbered by the artist. Artist: Scott Johnson, Vesterheim Gold Medal knifemaker and wood carver.
