Overview

This Hunter by Olamic Cutlery features a drop point blade with filework along the blade spine, 1/8" blade stock, 1 1/8" blade depth. Hidden tang construction with damascus double bolsters and spacers and black contoured G-10 handle. Nice work. Brand new from maker.

From the Maker: "Damascus steel and its characteristics have been a mystery in modern metallurgy, until John D. Verhoeven, Emeritus Professor in Materials Science and Engineering conducted a study along with master bladesmith Alfred H. Pendray. They set out to find out exactly what made Damascus steel so legendary. The secret turned out to be the combination of banded iron carbide particles and softer steel. Such molecular composition gave Damascus steel a hard cutting edge along with a rugged flexibility. But what specifically made it so? Research showed that the steel mix is crucial and must contain one of two (or both) secret ingredients: Vanadium and Molybdenum. Small traces of these elements added to high-carbon steel produced impeccable carbide bonds and thus unlocked the reason why Damascus is king of steel.

For our Olamic Cutlery Damascus we use four types of Russian steel, to create a balanced mix of high-carbon and nickel steels. The goal is edge-retention and real-world hunting performance. We were able to achieve this using lessons learned from history, and those uncovered by Mr. Verhoeven. The chemical composition of our Damascus features both Vanadium and Molybdenum, making for a superior and historically-accurate steel. After acid etching, a beautiful damascene pattern is uncovered, adding that final touch to every Olamic Cutlery hunting knife. Damascus steel is an ancient art and we aim to keep it alive for generations forth. The word ?Olamic? literally means ?lasting through eternity? and that is exactly what we?ve set out to do." Blade Steel: 300-400 Layer Mosaic Damascus @ 58-60 HRC

About the Maker

Olamic Cutlery
Olamic Cutlery

"We are a family-owned and operated knife company that started in 2010 in California. Olamic began with fixed blades and expanded into folders in 2013. To do so we brought along ABS MasterSmith Michael Vagnino and built up a small facility in Visalia, CA where he lives. Our goal at the time was to combine old world handwork we learned from our fixed blades and modern materials to make custom folders. The Wayfarer Classic was our first such folder, followed by Wayfarer Compact, Rainmaker, and Gambit. These models are handmade, built without the use of CNC. Making knives one at a time is the only way to maintain our “never the same" mantra. There are over ten million possible builds on our custom knives and each one made is unique. In 2016 we wanted to offer a robust EDC knife and designed the Wayfarer 247. We quickly realized that to make this knife competitive we need to have some parts pre-machined. Our Visalia shop doesn’t have this capacity and after an extensive search we found such precision in Italy. Everything beyond this initial step is done in California by the same hands that build our customs. Our fixed blades are made in Russia in small batches, all completely by hand. We forge our own Damascus from a proprietary mix of both high carbon and Vanadium-based steels. The steel is called H.C.V.D. and can be found in many patterns on our hunting knives and daggers. In March of 2017 we began using our Russian-made Damascus on our folders and finally crossed our past and our future."
