Each blade was individually patinaed, giving every knife its own one-off finish. No two are the same. Some look dark and worn, some look stained by hard use, and all of them look like they were recovered from the ruins of a very bad winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scales are \u003cstrong\u003esolid brass\u003c\/strong\u003e, aggressively textured, and heavily patinaed. The finish ranges wildly from dark brown and blackened brass to blue-green verdigris, exposed gold tones, and everything in between. These are not clean, polished brass scales. They are heavy, nasty, uneven, and intentionally overbuilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe added brass gives the Donner Party Hiker a much heavier feel than a standard Hiker. It is still the same compact, capable knife platform, but with a denser, more substantial presence in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach knife comes with a \u003cstrong\u003edark brown Kydex sheath\u003c\/strong\u003e and a leather \u003cstrong\u003e“Donner Party ’46”\u003c\/strong\u003e patch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was a limited Blade Show release.
