Knife:Bootes is named for a major
constellation, the herdsman, in the cosmos, and a
graceful design, cleanly made and nicely embellished. The
first thing you notice when you pick it up is its weight.
This is a thick, solid knife and very well balanced. The
blade is hollow ground from 3/16" 440C high chromium
martensitic tool steel that has been milled
in decorative fashion, with full filework around all the
milling, as well as fine filework along the fully tapered
tang, from blade tip to choil and even in the milled lanyard
slot. The filework is graduated, and is balanced to the tang
thickness. The deeply hollow ground blade is mirror polished and is
very thin and sharp at the edge with a meaty spine to
support it. The bolsters are hand-engraved 304 high chromium
nickel stainless steel, for lasting beauty and bright finish
matching the blade. The vine work design is echoed in the
sheath tooling, and connects the design to the gorgeous
glassy-polished Rain Forest Jasper Gemstone handle. This
jasper is hard and tough, an is bright and unique. With the
nearly pistol grip shape of the handle, this is a very
comfortable and inviting knife to hold. The sheath is
hand-carved and tooled leather shoulder, hand-stitched with polyester
sinew, and the carvings are washed with real
bronze metallic dust. The entire sheath is lacquered and sealed. Please
take some time to look at the pictures below, this is truly
a stunning knife!
