Ray's work has a timelessness that immediately evokes, an earlier, simpler time. The blade was hand forged and differentially heat treated, assuring a keen, long lasting edge with a resilient spine. The guard, butt cap, and end ring are both forged from wrought iron recovered from an 1850s era anchor chain. The wrought iron has a nearly Damascene pattern and has been hammer finished and antiqued. The handle, is formed from deer stag crown that has been antiqued. The resulting handle is very comfortable and secure in the hand. Excellent fit and finish throughout with a great balance and timeless soul.
