Description: Jay Hendrickson's work is something that always catches my immediate attention. His sense of design, fit and finish can be found nowhere else. The appleseed grind, a hallmark of his work, creates an edge that is durable, while being super-sharp. The sambar stag bolster is an innovation from Jay and adds a dramatic effect.
Jay has combined Nordic and classic American themes throughout this "half horn" Puukko. The traditional Nordic half horn sheath has been carved from curly maple (rather than reindeer antler) and inlaid with fine silver. The wood has been carved into an acorn motif -- another hallmark of Jay's knives. the leather upper is completed with a belt loop and a nickel silver throat.
The theme is continued on the handle of the clip point hunter. Jay has carved both sides of the handle with matching acorn scenes. The pommel is finished off with scallops inlaid in fine silver. The clip point blade was hand forged from 1084 carbon steel and has been differentially heat treated, for a keen, long lasting edge with a soft, supporting spine. Exceptional work throughout!
