Gaétan Beauchamp Tiger Scrimshaw

This man is one of the most talented of hollow grinders, his blades appear to be almost sculpted. The hand rubbed blades are ATS-34 hardened to 59-61 Rc. The bolsters are mirror polished engravable 416 stainless steel. All sheaths are brown moose hide.

We have found Gaétan's knives to be as popular as any maker we have featured, both for his exotic handle materials and for his fine scrimshaw. We have learned that it is important to have 10 or 15 of each of his knives on hand when they appear in brochures or catalogs because the demand is heavy. When those are gone delivery will take 3-4 months.
