This is an original Montana Territory Knives of Bozeman, Montana knife with an excellent Montana Rocky Mountain Elk scrimshaw artwork. This knife is truly a work of “Montana” art as it shows the elk antler, forged “rustic” Damascus, and scrimshaw artwork—a tribute to the wilderness of our state and Native American Indian heritage. The blade has been forged from 1095HC (High Carbon) steel and 15N20 Nickel Carbon, which is then heated and folded into 396 layers, creating the astounding “Damascus” steel. The knife shows a wonderful ladder Damascus pattern. The hollow grind full tang blade has been paired with a set of nice white wild Buffalo bone grip scales, which are secured to the piece using two brass pins, two mosaic pins, and lanyard loop. The tang and knife spine have been artfully hand vine filled. The grips have also artfully been scrimshaw etched with a Rocky Mountain elk shed antler. The knife is in brand new condition. The blade is marked with the “MONTANA TERRITORY KNIVES BOZEMAN MONTANA” stamping, which shows the outline of Montana. The knife has been paired with a Great American Bison Buffalo leather, hand crafted sheath. The knife measures overall 9 1/4" long with the blade being 4 3/4" long.
