The 'JBT' - Damascus & Maple Burl
The 'Jause, Bird and Trout' - long, slim and elegant. A classic Bird and Trout design that also lends itself perfectly to the Austrian tradition of Jause - a snack of cold cuts that is normally served outside. The slender blade is also perfect for use as a traditional hunting knife or 'Jagdnicker'.
Crafted in stainless steel damascus with a VG10 core on the cutting edge - VG10 is a an excellent Japanese knife steel that is stainless and will provide great edge retention. The construction of the JBT is full tang with filework on the spine. The handle is stabilized Maple Burl behind a bolster of stabilized Hornbeam - the stabilizing process impregnates the wood with an extremely durable resin - this makes the wood virtually impervious warping or cracking, water resistant and a lot more hard-wearing than natural wood. Fibre liners, a mosaic pin and a custom fitted leather sheath compliment this sharp little field companion.
