A blend of the ancient and the modern! W. R. Case® has paired obsidian, the blade material of choice for millennia, with stainless steel, which did not exist before 1910 for the pleasure of America's knife collectors and users.
These are two of Case's most popular patterns which have been handled with Mahogany Obsidian, a rich brown and black volcanic glass, used for thousands of years all over the world as arrowheads, knives or spear points This highly polished material is one of the most beautiful ever used by Case as handle scales on their knives. A diagonal strip of golden amber across the handle scales sets in beautiful contrast to the obsidian. Obverse and reverse sides are identical. The bolsters, caps, liners and handle spacers are nickel silver. Ships in a black velvet presentation box.
