24Kt Koftgari ♦ Hand-Forged ♦ Mammoth Tooth
The Kestrel 'Destiny' features a beautiful frame in 24K gold koftgari, inlaid with exotic 10,000 year old woolly mammoth tooth. The blade is 'Hornets Nest' damascus hand forged by Mike Norris; the one-hand button lock and the thumb stud are set with smoky quartz.
Koftgari is the name for fine gold (and/or silver) patterns inlayed into parkerized steel. This ancient Indian technique, done entirely by hand, involves creating a very fine cross-hatch grid in the steel and then burnishing 24K gold (and/or silver) into a pattern that is bound by the cross-hatch. Parkerizing involves soaking the steel in a boiling solution of salts to oxidize the steel a deep brown/blue. Beautiful and timeless, koftgari is nearly a lost art.
