Gentac "Offroad" Hand Forged Damascus Steel Knife

This limited edition Gentac "Offroad" knife is not only a practical piece of art, but it also carries a piece of American history. Featuring a blade of Damascus steel and one-hand button lock and thumb stud set with a red topaz gemstone, the distinguishing inlay is a glassy Fordite, which is also known as Motor Agate. The history behind this material goes all the way back to the days of hand-spraying cars in automotive factories. The colors and patterns are remnants of different colors of paint that were collected over time. This buildup of paint created fascinating patterns and layers which were recognized as a material that could be cut, polished, and recycled. This is a definite collector's item intended to be used and appreciated for years!

"An exceptional design that offers rigorous performance in a sleek, comfortable knife." -William Henry
