About this knife: Another example of the beautiful craftsmanship and juxtaposition of styles that are trademarks of Anders's work. The blade is Anders sole authored damascus comprised of 15N20 and 20C Swedish tool steel in his run out twist pattern. The double edge dagger was freehand ground. Dagger profiles are very hard to do correctly especially without a fuller groove. The fittings (hilt) are textured and antiqued bronze that flow perfectly into the fossil walrus ivory handle held together with a damascus handle pin. Of course, being a Hogstrom piece, the sheath is a work of art in itself. The custom fit, and beautifully tooled sheath with amazing grain leather has a boot clip on back.

About the maker: Anders Hogstrom is a Swedish knifemaker that refuses to be put into a style category. In his designs you can see a juxtaposition of styles from traditional Nordic, Japanese, and even some touches of contemporary elements on some pieces. Each of his pieces is truly a one of a kind piece of art. Anders is always pushing forward in design and materials and will not produce the same knife twice.
