Herb Derr – Personal in Fossilized Sea Cow Rib

Description

HERB DERR

  I have been a Dealer for Herb Derr Custom knives for over a decade, long before I had a website I sold Herb’s knives at Gun & Knife Shows, most often to repeat Customers.  Herb’s pieces are sole authorship ~ he forges his own Damascus, grinds his own blades, makes his own Leather Sheaths and still finds time to Teach courses at a Community College on how to make Damascus.  

Fort Henry Custom Knives is proud to be a Dealer for Herb Derr 

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

  Here is a superb Personal Sized Drop Point Hunter from Herb that has his own High Carbon Raindrop Damascus.  This is a great looking knife knife with artistic attributes, but I guarantee it will perform as good as it looks.  

  Herb explained that his high contrast Raindrop Carbon Damascus blades have over 2,500 layers. The knife has a comfortable Full Grip handle of Fossilized Stellar Sea Cow Rib Bone ~ HERE  is a link to some information on the extinct Stellar Sea Cow.   

This Fossilized Bone has beautiful natural coloring and the handle shape is slim and comfortable. 

The handle is flanked by Nickel Silver Spacers and a Stabilized Spalted Maple forward spacer for color.  On this knife Herb has also added some Vine Filework on almost the entire length of the Spine which looks great but serves a dual purpose of also replacing Thumb Ridges for grip enhancement.  

  The Heavy Leather RH Belt sheath has a thick Ostrich Skin inlay along with Custom Tooling around the mouth of the Sheath. Nice snug fit and a wonderful compliment to the knife. 

Don’t miss out on this one.
