Skalja® Inspiration with Bloodwood Scales

The Inspiration is one of two models being produced by Canadian knifemaker Laurent Doussot under the Skalja^™ trademark. Laurent was born in France and now lives in Québec. In 1990, while studying Fine Arts, he discovered handmade knives which became a vehicle for his passion for sculpture and mold making. His knives are inspired by forms found in nature and all have a three-dimensional, carved shape.
