I have had a real fondness for Russian art knives ever since I saw my first one a few years ago. This one is very nice.

really cool knife. I like the contrast between the handle carving relief (very detailed realistic), and the more primitive cave painting carving on the blade.

What is the steel? I'd like more information on this one.
