Aldebaran

"Aldebaran" Fine investment grade collectors or using knife, obverse side view: ATS-34 stainless steel blade, 304 stainless steel bolsters, gemstone handle, alligator inlaid leather sheath
Aldebaran
  • Type: An investment grade working or collector's knife
  • Size: Length overall: 10.125" (25.7 cm), Blade Length: 5.25" (13.3 cm), Thickness: .1875" (.48 cm)
  • Weight: Blade: 8.5 oz. Sheath: 4.5 oz.
  • Blade:ATS-34 High Molybdenum Stainless Tool Steel, Hardened and Tempered to Rockwell C59, mirror polished
  • Fittings/Bolsters: 304 Stainless Steel, mirror polished
  • Handle: Polished Dendritic Agate Gemstone
  • Sheath: Alligator Skin Inlaid in Hand-Tooled 9-10 oz. Leather Shoulder
  • Knife: This is a knife with a clean, long and substantial blade, brightly mirror polished with the beauty that only ATS-34 can have. The blade has full filework: a very regimented, extremely clean and geometric pattern. The bolsters are zero-care 304 austenitic stainless steel, which I left clean and polished to match the bright blade. They're dovetailed to hold a beautiful pair of Forest Green Dendritic (treelike) Agate gemstone scales, which are very hard and tough, and hold a bright polish well. This is a very meaty, strong, thick knife, and the handle is one of the most comfortable in my inventory.
  • Sheath: Aldebaran deserved a special sheath, so I chose real Alligator skin for the inlays on the sheath. The sheath body is 9-10 oz. leather shoulder, hand-carved and stitched with polyester sinew, edge sealed and lacquered for longevity and value.

Thanks, P.K.!
