: Canadian knifemaker Alain Desaulniers’ work is meticulously performed. Alain had the opportunity to work with renowned knifemaker John Young, who in turn worked under Steve Johnson. The influence of Young, Johnson, and Bob Loveless is clearly visible in Desaulniers’ work. This, matched with his attention to detail, makes for an exceptional knife. This Mini-Wilderness hunter is based on Bob Loveless’ design. Bob Loveless developed the Mini-Wilderness as a very versatile knife. It was designed to be a well balanced knife — not too heavy, not too light. As a modified chute knife, it provides plenty of function. The design was originally developed when an apprentice from Japan accidentally rounded the ricasso on a batch of chute knives. Loveless ended up double grinding the blade and calling it the Mini-Wilderness. This epic design works equally well as a hunting knife and for self defense.
The guard and rivets have been engraved by Master Engraver Brian Hochstrat. The detailed engraving combines Arabesque scroll with 24kt gold inlay.
The stainless steel blade was hollow ground to accentuate the dramatic grind lines. A full tang ensures durable construction and longevity. A distal taper to both blade and tang results in perfect balance. Red fiber spacers assist the handle to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. Stag scales provide a comfortable, secure grip. Exceptional work throughout.
