Ben Seward J. S. - Checked Damascus Hunter
Blade - 5 1/16”
OAL - 9 1/4
Handle: Checked African Blackwood
Steel - w core ladder damascus
Hey all,
I have a really fine presentation grade Hunter here from Ben Seward J. S., a great maker and a heck of a guy. It’s also ready to use!
We worked on this design together in 2015 to get a bushcrafty blade shape for backwoods use, with enough belly to handle other work.
The checked handle came out really nice, and is contoured to fit the hand reassuringly.
A nice damascus guard, partially fluted, marries the blade to the handle. The knife is perfectly balanced right behind the guard.
The ladder damascus has nice chatoyance, and the blade has a wonderful distal taper. It’s screaming sharp.
Pants from Ben’s dad. Elephant overlaying veg tanned leather, tooled, and lined with deerskin.
A really classy package, unused and uncarried, direct from maker.
Price: $700 for insured conus shipping. I reserve the right to refuse sale to anyone, but first I’ll take it here or in dm gets it.
Thanks for your consideration.
