: David Brodziak was born in Chatswood, N.S.W., Australia in 1948 and began making knives in 1989 after a lifelong interest in art, woodwork and metalwork. Knifemaking quickly became a passion and in 1993 Dave began making knives full-time – and has never looked back! This Jade Hunter was kept in a private collection since it was made. It is in mint condition and by all appearances, David could have made it yesterday!
The 3-3/4 inch blade is 440C stainless steel. 440C is tough, chip resistant, and has a high corrosion resistance. The flats feature a hand rubbed satin finish while the grinds are mirror polished. Brodziak’s touchmark is on the left side of the blade. The blade is hollow ground for an easy to maintain edge.
The handle is sculpted from solid dark green jade. The solid stone handle has a nice weight to it and is carved to provide a comfortable grip. The handle is fit to a polished stainless steel guard and spacer.
To keep the knife close at hand, a hand carved and textured pouch style leather custom sheath made by Roger “Mudbone” Jones is included.
Excellent work throughout!
