A Pair of Wilderness Presents

[DPKnives]

A Pair of Wilderness Presents. these are my Wilderness model, both are hand made from 1/8" 1095, full tang, full taper grind. Hand filed with random pattern, Blades are hand rubbed to 800 grit, The handles are Big Leaf Maple Burl and Black Platinum Fantasy Marble. Both have two 1/4" mosaic pins. The Blades are 3 1/4" cutting edges and they are 7 3/4" overall. The Maple one is for a local Village cop and the other is my brother's present from me. Thanks for looking Doug
