Herb Derr – Walrus Jaw Hunter

Description

HERB DERR

Fort Henry Custom Knives has been a proud Dealer for Herb Derr for more than a Decade

Direct from the Maker from the East Coast Custom Knife Show 2013 

Here is an excellent EDC sized Personal Hunter from Herb ~ well balanced and wonderfully proportionate, great materials and extremely comfortable.  

I hand picked this knife from Herb’s table due to the Ancient Fossilized Walrus Jaw handle and the Exotic Sheath Inlay. 

The knife has Herb’s Bird’s Eye High Contrast Damascus which is over 2,500 layers thick. It has a unqiue Fileworked spine and an amazing blending of rare natural materials.  The handle is made from Fossilized Walrus Jaw retrieved from the Frigid Northern waters, it is contoured into a smooth oblong shape with a flare at the butt which makes is extremely comfortable to hold.  

This particular example is amazing in that the Ancient Walrus Tooth remnants are still in the handle and clearly visible. 

 The handle is flanked by Nickel Silver Spacers and a striking Stabilized Maple Burl spacer for color.  The Spine of the knife has full custom Filework that doubles as Thumb Traction areas. 

    The Leather sheath has the Skin of an Australian Cane Toad as the inlay.  This is the second time I have seen him use this material!  

The Cane Toad is a prolific poisonous Pest ravaging the Australian Continent – read the entire history HERE   Herb also added some Custom Tooling around the mouth of the Sheath. Nice snug fit and a wonderful compliment to the knife. 

Don’t miss out on this Special one of a kind knife!
