Rod Olson Knives & Jared Van Otterloo Deception, Ladder Damascus Recurve Tanto

A one off build from Rod Olson. He's is a charter member of the Canadian Knifemakers Guild and member of the Western Canadian Knife Association. Fit and finish is perfect and the action is well tuned. He tends to make smaller knives but this JVO collab is a rare 3.75 model from him.

It handles like an XM-24 but with a slimmer handle. Ladder Damascus blade with a fullered recurve tanto grind and a full crowned spine. Diamond textured and milled ti frame. Demko AD20 and Hinderer XM-18 3.5 shown for size comparison only. 3.75" blade, 8 5/8" overall.
