Herb Derr – Rare Bird N Trout

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 local 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 2013  

  Here is a Perfect EDC sized Drop Point Hunter from Herb that has high contrast Sole Authorship Birds Eye Damascus.  This is a Rare pattern for Herb as he does not make many Smaller Knives. I guarantee it will perform as good as it looks.  

 Herb explained that his high contrast Bird Eye Carbon Damascus blades have over 2,500 layers. The knife has a comfortable Full Grip handle of Fossilized Stellar Sea Cow Rib Bone ~ HERE  is a link to some information on the extinct Stellar Sea Cow.   This material is very dense and has beautiful Natural deposits of color. 

The handle is flanked by Nickel Silver Spacers and a beautiful, Stabilized Box Elder Burl forward spacer which adds a dash of contrast to the 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 Heavy Leather RH Belt sheath has an exotic Lizard 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.
