But most aren't familiar with how they were rescued. For almost a year Shackleton and his crew were stranded near Elephant Island and survived on penguin, seal and whale meat. Shackleton and five of his men set sail for South Georgia in a long boat. The ice-packed voyage was over 800 miles. Unfortunately they landed on the uninhabited southern coast and had to traverse a mountain range to reach a small whaling station. Shackleton immediately began to work on a rescue effort for his men. After almost a year and a half being marooned in the antarctic, his crew was rescued and they all returned home. The long handle and deep belly blade make this Damascus knife the perfect tool for skinning and field work. Made of 1095 and 15n20 Damascus steel, the blade is hand-finished to a razor's edge. The profile of the knife reminds us of the strength and steadfastness of a man like Shackleton while the form, balance and design would be appreciated by someone like Shackleton and his crew who survived of the land. *Overall Length: 7" *Handle Length: 3.75" *Blade Length: 3.25" *Blade Material: Damascus Steel 1095/15n20 *Blade thickness: 4mm *Damascus pattern: Twist *Number of layers: 264 *Grind: Secondary bevel *Handle Material: Marble Horn *Includes a hand stitched full grain leather sheath with belt loop*Includes a quality, handmade wood gift box.
