Hi Folks
Something pretty wild that's recently out of the workshop...
Named after one of the last great ivory hunters out of Mozambique - Wally Johnson.
A gentle recurve leading to a broad, dropped point hunting blade. Crafted in VG-10 core clad in stainless steel Damascus with a 'Wild' pattern - this blade not only looks great but will perform too!
A rounded Nickel Silver finger guard and a full, tapered tang handle that has been shaped from stabilized and dyed Maple Burl. Stabilization is a process whereby the wood is impregnated with resin. This makes it nearly impervious to warping or cracking and is also weather resistant. Tough and beautiful!
A finely detailed mosaic pin in brass and nickel silver complements the fine eyes of the Maple burl and the blade and a Nickel Silver lanyard tube ensures that this tool is practical for the field.
This is something a little special and will certainly stand out from the crowd on your next hunting trip.
Blade thickness: 4.0mm (0.16")
Blade depth 36mm (1.4")
Blade length: 112mm (4.4")
Overall length: 233mm (9.2")
Weight (with sheath): 290g (10.2oz)
Weight (without sheath): 204g (7.2oz)
Handle material: Stabilized Maple Burl with vulcanized fibre lining
Fittings: Nickel Silver with mosaic pin
Full, tapered tang with filework on the spine. Comes with a custom fitted sheath as seen.
€ SOLD

Thanks for looking!
