"Vindicator" with Lapis Lazuli Gemstone handle |
An elegant small knife named for the Tusas mountain range in north-central New Mexico, the Tusas has a slight trailing point blade, and a simple, clean handle. This Tusas has a hollow ground and mirror polished 440C high chromium stainless steel blade, fully fileworked in hand-engraved carbon steel bolsters, and beautiful gemstone handles of Ruby (yes real ruby) in Zoisite. The rubies are extremely hard, making this a very difficult handle to make and finish. The knife is sheathed in an open-view sheath that shows the knife's attributes with elegance, in hand-tooled leather that is washed with a bronze powder for a nice metallic sheen.
