: Paul DiStefano is a bladesmith from Staten Island New York. He has been making knives full time since 2017 and is a Journeyman smith with the American Bladesmith Society. His knives are meticulously hand forged with a hammer and anvil. He is an up and coming making doing some really incredible work and is clearly a maker to keep an eye on! This Walrus Fighter is one of his master works to date and shows his incredible talent as a knifemaker and a carver.
The massive 12-2/3 inch blade features a 500 layer ladder pattern damascus forged from carbon steels to ensure excellent edge holding and chip resistance. The extremely dense, high layer pattern is extremely engaging from afar and demands closer examination. The dark etched pattern provides a unique chatoyancy as the blade moves in the light. Paul’s maker mark is on the ricasso of the left side of the blade.
The handle is hand carved from a premium section of ancient walrus ivory. The 3D image is hand carved by Paul and is extremely detailed and well done. The carving provides an exceptional grip without being abrasive. The background of the carving is nicely textured. A hand domed stainless steel pin holds the handle in place.
The forged S-guard is made from matching damascus and is perfectly fit to the blade. A central damascus spacer is surrounded by textured spacers for added contrast. This is a knife you won’t want to put down!
Exceptional work throughout!
