Description: John Leitch's desk knife will feel as at home in a collection as on your desk -- or even used in the kitchen!
The A2 carbon steel blade was acid etched with a relief for his maker's mark. This results in a "damascene" pattern that has made his work well known. The blade was heat treated by Paul Bos to Rc 59 and will have exceptional edge holding, perfect for opening envelopes and boxes or doing any other detail work.
Premium whitelip mother of pearl handle scales are set on the full tang for strenght and durability. The fit between nickel silver bolsters and the scales is excellent.
This knife is accompanied by and handmade letterbox style bison leather sheath with retaining band.
Excellent work throughout!
