The back of the blade tang shows intricate hand done vine file engraving work which artfully accents the already beautiful handmade knife. The piece shows a classic straight back hunting camping knife which will quickly become your favorite blade. The knife has been paired with a Great American Bison Buffalo leather hand crafted sheath which has been partially hand tooled. The knife is in brand new condition and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity along with a Lifetime warranty.
