Here is another knife from German knife maker Dietmar Kressler that can only be described as perfection in steel. Of course Dietmar is best known to collectors as the top maker of integral knives in the world today, and this full size integral Classic Loveless style Junior Bear Sub-hilt Fighter with Dagger Blade does not disappoint on that account.
This knife was sold at the 2005 (AKI) Art Knife Invitational.
Flawlessly machined from a single piece of Swedish RWL-34 steel, the frame and the blade have a gorgeous hand-rubbed satin finish. The Antique Ivory scales are perfectly matched , and are well contoured for comfort, so the knife sits nicely in the hand. This is an absolutely stunning piece from Dietmar, and one of the very finest ANtique Ivory Jr. Bears we've ever seen!
