Comments: A classic dagger by Master Canadian Artist Wolfgang Loerchner. This knife possess classic lines and absolutely flawless fit and finish. Wolfgang is one of the most sought after knife makers on the planet and this superb dagger shows some of the reasons why.
Wolfgang uses no power tools which means that all of these fantastic swirls and curves are done completely by hand with a large assortment of file and ultra-fine sand paper. The handle is artfully carved from a single piece of Antique Elephant Ivory and is perfectly formed to complement the style of the guard and blade.
The engraving is by frequent Loerchner collaborator, Master Engraver Martin Butler who is also now a resident of Canada. Martin spent years engraving guns for Purdey of England before setting out on his own. This subtle work is typical Butler engraving and complements to the Loerchner Dagger superbly.
One masterpiece by two great artists!
