An A. G. Russell™ Exclusive
Limited to 100 pieces.

Gaetan Beauchamp is an extremely talented knifemaker and one of the most celebrated scrimshanders in the world. He is not only a highly technically skilled artist, but an extremely creative one as well. He has created tiger images on both the obverse and reverse side handle scales scrimed in beautiful full color on Water Buffalo Horn. First offered in 2009, we arranged for him to complete a maximum of 100. The images are not just a repeat as you might expect, but the obverse side has an image of the tiger walking toward you and the reverse side, an image of the tiger walking away from you. Very nice!

The blade is ladder pattern Stainless Damascus by Mike Norris at 59-60 Rc. The bolsters are mirror polished, engravable 416 stainless steel and the handle scales are jet black, highly polished Water Buffalo Horn beautifully scrimshawed in extraordinary color. Measures 9-1/4" from tip to butt. Weighs approximately 10 oz. Includes a leather pouch style sheath. Knife and sheath are handmade in Quebec.

Gaetan Beauchamp

Gaétan Beauchamp is a Canadian knifemaker who not only has a talent for making knives, but for scrimshanding as well. In 1990 Gaétan watched his friend scrimshaw a piece of ivory. Fascinated, Gaétan tried his own hand at this dying art. His first piece turned out “very good.” Determined to continue this art form, Gaétan tried to get local knife makers to let him work on their handles. Being a relative untried novice, this was difficult. But the solution was simple, “I would just have to learn to make knives.” After years of practice and hard work, today Gaétan’s knives are just as sought after as his scrimshaw is.

 

Gaétan lives in Quebec, Canada and is a full time maker who sold his first knife in 1992. He is now a very experienced handmade knifemaker.
