The artwork was originally hand etched by Bill Feeney. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics from Saint Francis College in Bidderford, Maine, In 1973 I accepted a teaching position at Westport High School where I met Robert Rayno, the art teacher. As part of the class curriculum, he taught a section on scrimshaw. I sat in on many of his classes and purchased the necessary tools and ivory to begin etching. Combining my natural artistic ability with the techniques learned from Mr. Rayno, the cornerstone of "Spouting Whale" was established.
The weight of the knife is 5.39 ounces and the dimensions of the DM 003 Knife closed are 4.02" x 1.3" x 0.75". The blade itself is approximately 3.18" making the knife 7.2" with the knife blade open.

The shedding process, also known as casting, is a normal event that occurs annually for many male cervids—a group of hoofed mammals like moose, deer and elk.
Damascus steel is a type of steel easily recognisable by its wavy patterned design.

Weapons forged from Damascus steel were far superior to those formed from just iron. It a combination of carbon steel and regular steel that is folded 71 times.
