Paul's Knives Custom Hunter Acid Etched RWL34 Steel, Snake Skin Juma Handle

This custom fixed blade by Paul Emmanuel Arestan of Paul's Knives is a unique collectible piece of fine cutlery. Paul's interpretation of art knife is mixing dragon skin Juma with old school hammered copper guard and modern RWL34 super steel. To add to this wild mix of awesomeness, Paul etched the blade with an outstanding hand drawn design.
 
Paul has developed and mastered his own etching techniques. It envolves a laborious and painstaking process of hand painting and etching the steel several time, each time with changes to the drawing and etching time in order to create a variably raised pattern. The result is a stunning etched design with incredibly fine details comparable to laser engraving, but of course all done by hand!
 
The handle is made of Juma, an exotic synthetic material that has recently gained a lot of popularity in custom knives. Not only Juma looks fantastic, it also feel very comfortable in hand as is durable. To learn more about Juma read our "Knife Handle Materials Explained" article. The hammered copper guard matches perfectly with the handle.
