Lion
Description
Gold-plated automatic pocket knife made of Damascus steel from the category of so-called exclusive custom knives, which among Russian manufacturers signifies top-tier products from limited series. The knife comes from the workshop of Dmitry Chertov of Chelyabinsk. The blade is made of pattern-welded Damascus steel with a beautiful pattern and a hardness of 59-60 HRC. The deployment mechanism operates reliably with no blade play whatsoever. However, in this case, one is not paying for utility value. A good pocket knife of this size can be bought for a fraction of the price. Custom knives from limited series are very richly decorated and are truly unique. The Leo model features a gold-plated ornament at the base of the blade. The handle is decorated using precise hand-engraving, etching, niello/blackening, and gold-plating techniques. The knife comes with a leather pouch for belt carry. It is sold in an elegant wooden presentation box.
