• Knife: This is a custom made dagger (athame or athane) for a special client who requested specific embellishment and details.

The tang is full, and fully tapered for good balance, with clean vine filework along the tang. The 304 high chromium, high nickel austenitic stainless steel bolsters are sculpted in the front faces, and spread across the quillons for a wide, solid presence. They are fully dovetailed and hand-engraved in tiny detail with the client's animal characters. The shape of Cassini is comfortable and full in the hand, the sculpted round handle is solid and thick, made of polished British Colombian Nephrite Jade gemstone, beautiful and tough.
• Sheath: The sheath for this knife is hand-carved, hand-stamped and tooled, and custom engraved with the client's symbols, in 9-10 oz. leather shoulder.
• A beautiful athame dagger!
