This is an original handmade high-quality feather Damascus knife from the Montana Territory Knives of Bozeman, Montana. The knife shows an exceptional scrimshaw artwork of a Montana Grizzly Bear on the prowl. The knife blade has been forged from 396 layers of very high quality 1095HC (High Carbon) steel and 15N20 Nickel Carbon which is then heated and folded creating the astounding “Damascus” steel. The knife shows a beautiful raindrop Damascus pattern. The hollow grind full tang blade is then paired with a set of polished wild animal bone grip scales that have been artfully scrimshawed. The scrimshaw work shows the wonderful rustic detail of the Grizzly Bear on the prowl. The piece has a set of handmade micarta bolsters which are pinned with solid brass and the grip scales with a large mosaic pin of copper, brass and steel. The knife shows a classic clip point hunting skinning knife that would be great for any Montana Adventure. 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. The blade is marked with the “MONTANA TERRITORY KNIVES BOZEMAN MONTANA” stamping which shows the outline of Montana. The knife measures overall 8 3/4” in length with the blade being 4” long. The sheath measures 8 1/2” by 3”.
