Iraca - by Jay Fisher

[JayFisher]

Here's a new one:

Iraca

Iraca is an Incan word and used naming a feature on the surface of Rhea, Saturn's largest moon. In making this knife, I tried to keep that exotic flavor in the shape, the profile, the materials, and the embellishment.

Size: Length overall: 7.8" (19.8 cm), Blade Length: 4.1" (10.4 cm), Thickness: .193" (4.9 mm)
Weight: Knife: 7.8 oz. Sheath: 4.0 oz.
Blade: 440C High Chromium Martensitic Stainless Steel, Hardened and Tempered to Rockwell C59, mirror finished
Bolsters, Fittings: Hand-engraved 304 Austenitic High Nickel, High Chromium Stainless Steel
Handle: Polished Bronzite Hypersthene Gemstone
Sheath: Frog Skin Inlaid in Hand-carved Leather

See more pictures, get more details about this knife on a special page on my site here.

Thanks for looking,
Jay

Absolutely beautiful work! All hand engraved? Holy Moly...

Did you do the sheath too? That is a work of art my itself.
