This MAB custom small hunting knife is made by me, Mark Buzzell (MAB), right here in Maine. This great looking knife is 6-3/4 inches overall with a 3-3/16″ inch by 1/8 inch thick and 7/8 inch wide blade, And 3″ inch cutting edge. The blade is a 200 plus fold Zebra pattern damascus steel. The knife blade is marked with my MAB logo as the maker of this fine knife. This knife was made from a bar stock damascus billet. The knife billets are shaped, ground, polished, oil quenched hardened and tempered to rockwell 57 to 58, then acid etched to help bring out the damascus pattern. Then given one final polish all done by me. The handle on this one is made from some exhibition grade stabilized Fossil coral, The fossil coral i used on this one is from oceans around the world and will date from 15,000 to 20,000 years old. The whole knife was built on a Zebra styel look right down to the sheath. The fossil coral has been stabilized to protect them and make them as tufff as possible. The knife bolsters and spacers were made from solid brass bar and sheet stock, I also used two custom pins in the handle to add to the coral color. I also hand filed the top of the handle with my “Double Wave” pattern. It’s all done by hand with a chain saw file and a small triangle file. I do not use a dremel tool like some knife builders, and then call it file work, so you can see I put a lot of time just in the file work on this one to make it a very collectible piece. Your knife will come with the custom Zebra pattern leather belt sheath made by Carl Thomas, your knife will also come with a black zip up knife case for storing your custom knife when it's not in use. All my custom knives come with a hand signed COA and DVD telling more about the knife, when it's was made time spent and so on. This one of a kind should last a good many lifetimes and would make a great gift for the knife collector that thought they had everything. $6.00 shipping by priority mail with delivery conformation and insurance.
