"Vindicator" with Lapis Lazuli Gemstone handle |
A style also used and carried by some of my military clients, the Grim Reaper is a formidable knife. The blade is over five inches long, and this particular version is made in collector's grade and fashion. The blade is tough and durable O-1 high carbon tungsten-vanadium tool steel, milled to reduce weight, double hollow ground, mirror polished and hot blued for a jet black glistening appearance and improved corrosion resistance. The blade is 5/16" thick at the ricasso, and the handle is bolstered with hand-engraved carbon steel to match the blade. The bolsters are dovetailed and bed a pair of beautiful Larvikite (Blue Pearl Granite) gemstone handle scales, which are orthoclase feldspar granites, tough and strong with a bright polished finish. The sheath is hand-carved leather, inlaid with real Cobra skin, front and back.
