Folding
Kris Dagger
This knife
is a fully sculpted Broadwell "picture frame" art folder. The
blade is made from an outstanding piece of Tom Ferry mosaic damascus
steel. Ferry forged to shape the billet in an abstract organic
pattern specifically for this knife. The second photo shows the steel pattern with
Broadwell's sculpting and texturing in the guard area. The handle is carved from bronze
plates, textured, and given an antique patina. Black lip mother of pearl
shows through the "picture frame" openings. The blade locks
with an inlaid side lock. The spine of the handle is damascus steel.
Except for the textured and heat colored stainless steel pivots, this
knife is assembled with hidden screws. There are several small carved
details on this knife, many on the inside.
A note on
the materials chosen for this knife. Broadwell chose bronze for the
handle because of it's warmth and it's natural oxidation
characteristics. The black lip MOP is actually in the green color range
and compliments the bronze. While damascus could have been used for the
handles and the spine extensively carved, it was felt that the knife
would become gaudy rather than tastefully designed.
AVAILABLE:
$2800
