"Golden Eagle"
A popular older design of mine, the Golden Eagle has a proven
reputation in military service and combat search and rescue, as well as being a
fine collector's pattern. This one is made of hollow ground and mirror polished
ATS-34 high molybdenum martensitic stainless tool steel, with full filework and
a fully tapered tang. The blade has a half-length top swage, for good point
profile without sacrificing spine strength. the knife is bolstered with
maintenance free high chromium, high nickel 304 austenitic stainless steel,
which I hand-engraved with a tiny scroll and leaf set pattern. The
bolsters are dovetailed and hold a doublet-cut gemstone handle of polished
gray-green metallic Marcasite backed with colorful Polvadera Jasper. The sheath
is hand-carved and tooled in the same pattern as the bolster engraving, in 9 -
10oz. leather shoulder, hand-stitched, lacquered and sealed. A beautiful
investment grade knife for a great client.
Thanks, D. K.!
