Comments: Beautiful execution of the classic hunting knife style with a unique spin. The exceptional forged 5-Layer “CU Mai” blade has a W-2 Carbon Steel core, a layer of Copper on either side of the core & the two outside layers are Damascus. The Damascus is comprised of 1095 Carbon Steel & 15N25 Nickel. Dan calls his steel “CU Mai” because CU is the mineral abbreviation for Copper and the sandwiched construction is similar to San Mai. Add the Presentation-Grade Desert Ironwood handle & the result is an instant “Win, Win.” Dan is an ABS Journeyman Smith. (Note the Copper accent on the top clip of the blade.)
