He posted pictures here so I won't add to those.
The tooling on the sheath is very deep, crisp and clean. The sheath firmly grasps the blade. The stitching is well done. The overall impression is luxurious; the leather is obviously of fine material, and is well-formed and dyed,
The photos don't do the sheath justice, and they fall way short of conveying the beauty of the knife. Every line is crisp, confidant, well-executed. The unusual shape of the hamdle forces ny hand into a comfortable and secure grip more with my fingertips than I'm used to. The grip brings back memories of my best epee grips; it forces me into a good French grip.
The subtlety of the mosaic pin is lost in the picture. there are 6 copper pins surrounded by steel, the whole fitted to the gip perfectly.
The Damascus blade has a high polish and contrast to show off the gorgeous pattern. It is also hair-popping sharp.
This is a remarkable knife, superbly executed by Mr, Schott. I feel fortunate to be able to care for it.
