Emmanuel Esposito's White Fang

Emmanuel Esposito is an amazingly talented knife maker.  His work goes into some of the top collections around the world.  He only takes orders if you have a relationship with him and even then it can be years before you would see your knife.  H e tends to make limited series of a model and does variations within the series so that no two knives are alike.  Otherwise his knives are available via bid up or lotteries at the few shows he attends.

This piece is a White Fang model.  Aside from the beauty of the basic design the most spectacular thing about this knife, to me, is the use of Gold Mokume!  Beautiful and very expensive, please enjoy the pictures.
