Herb Derr – Big Game Skinner

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 recent NYCKS 2015 ~

  Here is a great Big Game Hunter / Skinner from Herb that has high contrast Sole Authorship Bird’s Eye Damascus. This is a Beauty and the Beast knife, it is great looking with artistic attributes but I guarantee it will perform as good as it looks.  

 Herb explained that his Rare High Contrast – High Carbon “Mosaic” Damascus blades have over 2,500 layers.  This is a Gorgeous Example of Herb’s unique Mosaic Hand Forged Damascus!  

This Big Blade is 1  1/2″ Wide and nearly 3/16″ Thick!! 

The knife has a comfortable Full Grip handle molded from a Large Single piece of Fossilized Walrus Jaw Bone.  This knife is Sized for a Medium to Large sized Grip, it would also work well if you wear gloves.  Note the rich Deposits in the Jaw Bone handle. 

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 handle is flanked by Nickel Silver Spacers and a lovely Stabilized Maple Burl forward spacer which adds a dash of contrasting color to the handle.

The Heavy Leather RH Leather Belt sheath has Large African Ostrich Skin as the inlay.    

Don’t miss out on this one.
