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 Knife Shows and Gun Shows, 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.

~ Direct from the Maker ~
Here is an common knife from Herb that you won’t find anywhere else ~ a Hand Forged Straight Back Hunter from Herb’s own High Contrast Sole Authorship Twist Damascus. This is a great looking knife with artistic attributes, but I guarantee it will perform as good as it looks.
Herb explained to me that his High Carbon Steel Damascus Blades are Forged to have over 2,500 Layers. Herb has expertly Hand Forged this bold Twist Pattern, and it is repeated throughout the steel so it is similar on both sides.
The Incredible Stabilized Zebra Leg Bone handle on this Derr Straight Back Hunter is truly remarkable. This is a Shin Bone with Incredible Color and Wonderful Natural Grain. The Handle material is flanked by Nickel Silver Spacers and a Stabilized Spalted Oak spacer.
This Size Handle is ideally suited for a Medium to Large Grip. Herb gave this one a polished Nickel Silver Guard as well as Custom Hand Filework on the Spine, the Filework would do double duty as Thumb Ridges if choking up the blade. The Spalted Oak Spacer also has incredible Natural Grain and color.
This Derr Straight Back Hunter is a truly wonderful Hand Made piece from Herb and it could easily claim it’s place among the best of any Derr or Damascus Knife Collection.
The Heavy Leather RH Belt sheath has a Cane Toad Skin inlay along with Custom Tooling around the mouth of the Sheath. Nice snug fit and a wonderful compliment to the knife.
