Comments: Classic lines from a classic maker. D'Holder is second to none when it comes to fixed blades with clean lines, wonderful shapes and crisp grinds. This beautiful Semi-skinner has a back-filed blade and his famous handle that includes alternating segments of various exotic materials.

The guard is engraved by D's lovely wife Pat, and best of all, the knife feels simply wonderful in the hand. The knife also comes complete with an attractive sheath finished in the traditional basket-weave pattern with Fossil Mammoth Goncho.

D is a member of the Knife Makers Hall of Fame and has also been a member of the Knife Makers Guild for more than 32 years. He has served as on its board of directors in every position including President.

This is really wonderful work from a top notch maker who is a true legend in his craft.
