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.  

HERE is a Link to hear a Recent Interview with Herb re Making Damascus

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


  ~ Direct from the Maker from the Recent ECCKS 2015 ~

  Here is another Sole Authorship piece from Herb, this knife was Hand Forged to shape from some of Herb’s Rare Random Pattern  Damascus.  

This is the Perfect Sized EDC with some wonderful characteristics, a knife with artistic attributes, but I guarantee it will perform as good as it looks.

  Herb explained that his high contrast Carbon Damascus blades have over 2,500 layers. The blade on this tough Little Hunter is 1″ Wide!

The knife has a comfortable Full Grip handle of Fossilized Walrus Jaw Bone – beautiful natural color and deposits.  This handle is smooth and fills the hand very comfortably.

The rich colored handle is flanked by Nickel Silver Spacers and a Stabilized Spalted Maple Burl forward spacer with incredible Grain! However, this most interesting attribute is the Natural Cavities in the Jawbone where the Large Teeth would have been!

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.

A very special knife for easy carry ~ this would be a Great all around Belt Knife that will attract alot of compliments.

 The Heavy Leather sheath has an African Ostrich Leg Skin as the inlay.  Herb also added some Custom Tooling around the mouth of the Sheath. Nice snug fit and a wonderful compliment to the knife.
