Product details
Purdey medium pocket knife in walnut and brass. This lock blade folding knife has two brass bolsters, a 2.5" blade and 3.5" handle. Walnut has been used for knife handle. Walnut wood is dense and tight-grained and polishes to a very smooth finish. The colour ranges from creamy white to a dark chocolate colour. The walnut for the handles is exclusive to Purdey as Purdey supplies the genuine off cuts used for making the James Purdey gun stocks.
The blade is made from Damascus steel that is known for its strength and retaining sharpness, which is ideal for use in knife making. It is especially noted for the beautiful patterning which is evident on the surface of the blade. In the process to create this unique steel the craftsman takes layers of different metals - alternately hard and soft - and through repeated hammering forges a single billet of metal. This metal is then repeatedly twisted and manipulated according to the desired design before being given to the knife maker who will then forge the knife. Only after the knife has been treated and polished does the metal truly reveal the characteristic patterns that recall the lost art of the original makers of Damascus steel. Comes in bridle leather belt scabbard with Purdey embossed fastener.
