The Medicine Blade is an integral style knife that was forged by Ray Kirk of Tahlequah, Oklahoma, a Master Smithin the American Bladesmith Society and a Citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. Each blade has been forged from a round bar of 52100, a high carbon steel of extreme high quality, and then **smoked**. The handle material on this hidden tang knife is a solid piece of burl that has been stabilized by one of the best stabilizers in the business, K&G of Lakeside, Arizona. The specially made high quality leather sheath was made by Mike Stott of Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The sheath has been specially designed to safely contain the blade until it is ready to use. The length of the differentially heat treated blade with a distal taper is 3 7/8 inches and the overall length is 8 5/8 inches. Blade lengths will probably vary an 1/8" due to each one being forged by hand.
Each knife is marked on the blade with the stencil “RakeR” with the “MS” directly below. The other side will have the stencil of “MEDICINE BLADE” and Ray’s Cherokee Register Number, “COO41719", below it.
Every effort has been made to insure that each blade will provide excellence in both performance and behavior.
** The blessing of something with a Cherokee ritual which involves the use of smoke and prayer. This ritual is to impart good spirits to the knife so that the blade may help the owner. **
