About a month ago, I received a knife I had been watching for awhile on a site. The original photos were part of a series of images that Coop has done for the seller and they made the knife look stunning.
I finally ordered the knife and it arrived and is quite amazing. It is quite long 11 1/4" OAL and 5 5/8" blade length but in the hand is extremely light and delicate.
I was able to contact Andre to get some info about the blade. It is Uddeholm 15N20 + 20C (the darker color + nickel. The handle is carved Russian mammoth ivory and Desert Ironwood with nickel silver spacers. The sheath, very snug fitting, is tooled orthopaedic leather.
Quite a marvelous package.
