THIS IS A BIG AND BEAUTIFUL. DAMASCUS HUNTING MADE BY LONG TIME GUILD MEMBER AND ARTIST MR. I HAVE LISTED SOME INFORMATION ABOUT SOME OF HIS LIFE WORKS. IT HAS BEEN OVER 22 YEARS SINCE WE HAVE SPOKEN TO EACH OTHER, BOY HOW TIME GETS AWAY..

INFORMATION FROM THE CRAIG STEKETEE WEBSITE: Craig Steketee states I began designing and crafting custom knives full-time as Stek Knives in 1991. I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ft. Wayne Art Institute in 1974 and a Master of Fine Arts from Western Michigan University in 1976 majoring in sculpture and printmaking.

I taught art at the university level from 1977through 1991. My sculptures, paintings, and prints have been exhibited at numerous art galleries and museums throughout the country.

I first began forging and casting steel while in graduate school. My knives have been illustrated in the Knives Publication (by Ken Warner), the Knife Magazine, Blade Magazine, Fighting and Tactical Knives. Stek Knives are produced almost exclusively from Damascus steel which is hand forged in my shop.

Damascus steel is the result of multi layers of steel forge welded together to create a variety of patterns. The two main types of steel I use for my blades are 1080 and 15N20. A mixture that is alternately stacked, forged and hand welded together to make a billet.

Four to eight billets are then stacked together to make a completed billet of 240, 360, or 480 layers. Because of the different layers of steel, a Damascus blade has an excellent cutting edge similar to a serrated knife.

DESCRIPTION: THIS IS A LARGE. MADE HUNTING KNIFE IT MEASURES 9-3/4" OVERALL LENGTH WITH A 5" BLADE. THE BLADE IS VERY STURDY AND THICK HAMMER FORGED MULTI LAYERED CUSTOM ZEBRA DAMASCUS.

IT HAS A DROP POINT BLADE WITH BEAUTIFUL THICK ZEBRA DAMASCUS AND IS LITERALLY RAZOR SHARP AS ALL HIS KNIVES ARE. THE HANDLE IS SIMPLY GORGEOUS, IT HAS DEEP GROOVED DARK MATCHING SAMBAR STAG WITH NO CRACKS, CHIPS OR ANY IMPERFECTIONS.

IT HAS A MATCHING DAMASCUS FORMED FRONT GUARD AND A MATCHING DAMASCUS REAR POMMEL WITH A NATURAL BLACK VEINED TURQUOISE, BLACK ONYX, RED AND STAINLESS - STEEL SPACERS (LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL COLORS). THIS ONE IS A REAL DANDY FOR ANYONE WHO LOVES HIGH QUALITY HUNTING KNIVES MADE BY ONE OF THE WORLDS MOST TALENTED AND RESPECTED. IT COMES WITH HIS THICK LEATHER BELT SHEATHSTAMPED STEK 2003 ON THE BACK (NONE BETTER MADE ANYWHERE, BY ANYONE). I STILL HAVE A FEW OF MR.
