Folders

Elephants Toenail

The "Elephants Toenail" has always been one of my favorite multi-bladed folder patterns. This version is made as a three-bladed whittler. The main blade is three and one-eighth inches long. Each of the small blades is two inches long. All blades are made from 1075 and 15N20 steels in a ladder pattern forged by maker. The knife features stainless steel bolsters which are engraved and gold inlayed by Steve Dunn. The mammoth ivory handle is secured by 14-karat gold pins and has one 14-karat gold escutcheon. This folder was first exhibited at the 2007 Art Knife Invitational in San Diego, California.
