Flagstaff Hunter Knife - 5 inch In Walnut

Crafted using CNC milling, allowing for blade geometries that are impossible via conventional blade manufacture.  Each blade small batch hardened (no more than a dozen at a time) to ensure an optimal hardness of 60HRC.  The blades are made from Takefu 67-layer San Mai, with a VG10 core. VG10 is arguably one of Japan's finest stainless knife steels.  Each blade is individually etched in a mixture of hydrochloric acid and ferric chloride before being cleaned and buffed.  The blade geometry allows for a substantial and rigid spine, with a concave blade profile leading to a razor-sharp cutting edge.  The handles are created from authentic Purdey gunstock walnut, that has been pressure-reinforced with an epoxide polymer.  The strip of Audley red that sets the handles apart consists of layered glass fibre.  Each handle is shaped, sanded, oiled and finished by hand.  The handle is secured using a combination of marine epoxy and custom rivets applied with a 2-tonne press.  The sheaths are made in Devon from oak-tanned leather.
