Scandinavian Knife by Vesterheim Gold Medalist John Drewes

Scandinavian Knife by Vesterheim Gold Medalist John Drewes. The knife blade is triple  laminate of 1018 and 01 alloy of steel with a Scandinavian grind and is made by KJ Groven. The knife handle is stabilized birch burl with a bronze metal bolster. The accent piece is "mastodon ivory." This knife's sheath is half tanned steer hide and is hand stitched.

Vesterheim Gold Medalist John Drewes earned his Gold Medal in 2014. He has worked with other mediums including Tiffany-style glass lamp shades before he discovered knifemaking in 2005. He has made knives and sheaths in a variety of styles ever since. Fitting together carefully-shaped small parts to construct interesting shapes and designs is something he's always enjoyed.
