Herb Derr – Mammoth Personal 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 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.  

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

  Direct from the Maker from the NYCKS 2012  

  I hand picked this beautiful hunter from Herb’s Table, it has crisp Birds Eye Damascus and one of the only knives he brought with 20,000 year old Fossilized Mammoth Bone ~ the perfect Size Skinner! 

  Herb’s Birds Eye Carbon Damascus is over 2,500 layers thick.  The
Fossilized Mammoth Bone handle has dark rich natural color (created from different Mineral Deposits from thousands of years in the making) ~ it is flanked by Nickel Silver Spacers and a thick Stabilized Spalted Maple spacer for color.  

On this knife Herb has also added some Vine Filework on the Spine which looks great but has a dual purpose of also replacing Thumb Ridges for grip enhancement. 

  The Heavy Leather RH Belt sheath has a thick Grey Ostrich Leg 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.
