This knife is nice enough to be
considered an investment quality knife and rugged enough to be used. The knife
features a 10-inch blade forged from 1084 steel. The guard, ferrule, and pins
are made from German silver. The handle is fashioned from India stag. The
leather sheath is made by Kenny Rowe of Hope, Arkansas.
The Huckleberry
This style knife was originally made in 1900 by Joseph Rogers. The knife
features a 5 inch blade, nickel silver bolsters and pins, and a checkered ebony
handle. This knife is only available in carbon steel. This would be an excellent
choice for field use or in camp, but also nice enough to be an any upscale
collection. Box Photo

market. As shown, the knife features a 5 inch random patterned Damascus blade
made from 1095 and 01 steels. The India stag handle is of mortis tang
construction. Filework is featured on the nickel silver fittings. This knife is
available in carbon or Damascus steels with blade lengths up to 10 inches. Box
