a one of a kind folder created by Theuns Prinsloo of South Africa.
Mr. Prinsloo is a member of the South African Knifemaker's Guild and has recently been voted into the American Knifemaker's Guild, assuring that his work will increase in value. So what makes Mr. Prinsloo so special?
His creations are 100% sole-authorship.
The blade on this knife is hand-forged, 1070/1084/1095/Nickel Damascus,
which was then Salt-Blued and etchedto create the vivid, irridescent color
pattern on the blade.
The bolsters are textured & anodized titanium. The painstakingly fileworked backstrap is also titanium as are the baby-blue and gold anodized liners. The scales are premium grade giraffe ankle bone. and the thumbstud is anodized, fileworked and inlayed with a genuine, high-grade ruby.
The makers signature is etched on the inside/back of the backstrap.
This knife is 6 1/4" long, weighs 70 grams and comes with an
Ostrich-leather slip pouch also handmade by Mr. Prinsloo.
A true gem.
