"Vindicator" with Lapis Lazuli Gemstone handle |
The "Mizar" is named for the one of the double stars in the handle of the big dipper constellation. This is an older knife, and I made the blade in pattern welded damascus with O1 oil hardening tool steel and A36 structural steel. I also made the bolsters in the same steel and etched the entire knife. The handle is made of African Pietersite, a brecciated tiger eye gemstone with an inlaid escutcheon plate with my maker's mark. I made the sheath in hand-carved leather shoulder inlaid with Tegu lizard skin, hand-stitched with polyester sinew.
