Comments:
Here is another knife from German knife maker Dietmar Kressler that can only be described as perfection in steel. Of course Dietmar is best known to collectors as the top maker of integral knives in the world today, and this fully integral Classic Loveless style Nesmuck Skinner does not disappoint on that account.
Flawlessly machined from a single piece of RWL-34 steel, the frame and the blade have a gorgeous hand-rubbed satin finish. The Antique Ivory scales perfectly matched , and are nicely contoured for comfort, so the knife sits nicely in the hand. This is an absolutely stunning piece from Dietmar!
The superb engraving is by Italian Master Giovanni Steduto and is one of his very first pieces using colored enamel as part of the design. The engraving has to been seen in person to be fully appreciated, and we think you will agree this is one of the finest engraved fixed blades we've ever seen. An absolute masterpiece Giovanni!
