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 Blade Show 2012
Here is a Large Hunter from Herb that has some of the most unique High Contrast Random Damascus that I have ever seen from Herb! This is a large knife with artistic attributes, but I guarantee it will perform as good as it looks.
Herb explained that this particular high contrast Carbon Damascus blade is over 3,000 layers thick. The knife has a generous Full Grip handle of Fossilized Oosic The Oosic (also known as baculum) is used for copulation in a variety of very large underwater species of animals. A very unique material that was thousands of years in the making!
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 an African 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.
