: Mastersmith Steve Koster has been making knives for almost 50 years. He has won numerous awards through the years for his handmade, one-of-a-kind knives. Steve grew up in Sandpoint, Idaho where he spent most of his time fishing, hunting, camping, trapping, and climbing. He began knifemaking in the early 70’s and started forging knives in 1986. He joined the American Blade Society in 1999 and passed his Journeyman test in 2003. Koster was awarded his Mastersmith rating on April 11th, 2021.
The clip point blade is feather pattern damascus forged from 1080 and 15n20 carbon steels. The high contrast pattern is exceptional and draws you in for further inspection. The spine is nicely rounded for comfort when choking up on the blade for detail work. Steve’s mark is on the right side of the blade and his M.S. mark is on the left side.
The stag handle has plenty of natural texture to provide excellent grip. Alternating copper and black fiber spacers will help the natural horn adjust to humidity and temperature changes while out in the field. A polished 416 stainless steel guard and end cap finishes the handle.
To keep the knife close at hand, a tooled pouch style leather custom sheath made by Steve is included.
Excellent work throughout!
