Description
Nessmuk-style knife from the workshop of Vladimir Cherkunov. The blade features a profile typical for Nessmuks with a full flat grind. Forged Bohler M398 steel. Full-tang configuration with handle scales made of elforyn, secured with two mosaic pins, one of which includes a lanyard hole. Elforyn is a high-quality composite material manufactured in Germany, considered the world's best imitation of ivory. It is ideal for creating knife handles, not only because it offers the aesthetics of ivory, but also because it is resistant to damage, chemicals, and water. Nowadays, if you have a knife with an ivory handle, it can easily be confiscated (e.g., during airport baggage screening) under the guise of fighting for the preservation of endangered species. Black leather sheath with a quiet closure.
