Here is what Ernest Emerson said about this knife: I designed the Bourbon knife to be a model that reflects a true user and tradesman’s knife. I wanted something that could be used for a variety of working men's tasks. The knife had to be comfortable in the hand and of medium size, with a blade style and shape that could be used for the greatest variety of cutting chores. The knife had also to reflect the spirit and ethic of the American working man and woman, the kind of people that personify the American dream and those on whose backs the hard efforts, sacrifices and determination are what built this great country.The knife features a Bowie style blade made from American 154 stainless tool steel and is heat treated to a hardness of 57-59 Rockwell, the best heat treatment for a real using man's knife. The frame is constructed of aerospace grade titanium for strength and durability, while not compromising lightness and rigidity, and best of all, the handles are made from the American white oak whiskey barrel staves that the whiskey was aged in for over four years. The wood has been fully stabilized, giving you a warm look, feel, and durability that will last for generations. The handles, all finished by hand, reflect the quality and attention to detail, upholding the solid reputation of American craftsmanship so sought after the world over.
