Description
One of a kind Damascus Dagger, Stiletto, Fighting Knife by H. T. Ryerson of Indiana. The 8" 208 layer Damascus is forged from 1095 hi carbon steel and L6 band saw blades for toughness. The handle is brass and African Paduak wood. The file work on the blade, Quillons, and liners tells a story of Western conquest over the Aztec culture, inspired by Ryerson's historical studies. OAL: 12". The knife has never been used and is in excellent condition with just a few dark carbon spots. No sheath. H.T. said this was the nicest dagger he has ever made and maybe the last because of declining health and that was in 2009. His logo HTR is stamped on the blade but hard to see in the picture.
