Scythian (handle with incrustation)
Description
A beautiful damasteel knife with a "Skif" (Scythian in Polish) blade profile. The knife is distinguished by its intricately decorated handle using the inlay technique. This is a laborious technique requiring great skill, highly valued in Russia and historically often found in high-end products from this region. In this model, duralumin and mother-of-pearl were used for the inlay. The most expensive knives used precious metals and stones. The inlay is applied to black hornbeam, both sides of the handle are finished with melchior castings.
