Before Engraving
Engraved Chute Knife. Joe Mason puts his signature engraving on this one with gold inlay. 3 1/2” tip to the front of the bolster and 7 3/4” long over all. Mirror polished all way with CPM-154 steel and 8” hollow grind. The bolsters have sculpted finger relief on both sides. The handle material is Mammoth Ivory that has been stabilized by WSSI. Heat and cryo treatment has this blade at 59 RC. The top false edge has not been sharpened.
The kicker deal to this knife is I had two sheaths made for this knife by master leather worker Sandy Morrissey. The person purchasing this knife gets first choice of 1 sheath. I’ll keep the other for my collection of Morrissey sheaths I use as study pieces.
