This is an original Montana Territory Knives of Bozeman, Montana knife with an excellent, Yellowstone National Park inspired, Bull Elk scrimshaw artwork. This knife is truly a work of “Montana” art as it shows a large standing bull elk set on wild animal grips and a forged “rustic” Damascus, a tribute to the wilderness of our state and scrimshaw artwork. 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 raindrop Damascus pattern. The hollow grind full tang blade has been paired with a set of nice white wild animal bone grip scales, which are secured to the piece using two mosaic pins and lanyard loop. The tang has been artfully hand vine filled. The grips have also artfully been scrimshaw etched with an image of a standing elk. The knife is in brand new condition. The blade is stamped with the outline of the state of Montana "MT" in the outline with "Bozeman MT" underneath. The knife comes with a tooled leather sheath and stamped "MT Bozeman MT" with the outline of Montana. The knife measures 9 1/4" long overall with the blade being 4 3/4" long.
