Comments: Classic lines from a classic maker. D'Holder is second to none when it comes to fixed blades with clean lines, wonderful shapes and crisp grinds. This beautiful hunter, called The Big Dog by D, has a wonderful handle that includes alternating segments of Premium Ironwood, Fossil Manatee and Oosic. The ATS-34 blade has just the right amount of stylish back filing on the first half of its spine. The guard is neatly engraved by D's wife Pat Holder , and best of all, the knife feels simply wonderful in the hand.

The knife also comes complete with an attractive sheath finished in the traditional basket-weave pattern. D is a member of the Knife Makers Hall of Fame and has also been a member of the Knife Makers Guild for more than 32 years. He has served as on its board of directors in every position including President. He is also the recipient of the 1981 Red Watson Memorial Friendship Award, the 1991 Baretta Award and the 1997 Blade Magazine's Publisher's Award. This is really wonderful work from a top notch maker who is a true legend in his craft.
