This knife is made from 52100 steel(ball bearing) with albino water buffalo horn scales. Pretty good slicer and very aggressive edge finished at 1000 grit edge pro waterstone.

Nice knife, did you make it yourself? Are those brass liners between blade & horn and why 4 rivets, does the horn warp or lift easily?

Thanks but no I did not make it. I would like to have the skill to make a knife.

That is epoxy in between the liners. We still have issues regarding stabilization of horn, so that probably is the smith's solution.

That looks fantastic. A little lower point and fatter guard than i would like, but whatever.

I have a soft spot for regional knives from all over the world. This one looks lovely, a no-nonsense user yet still appealing.
