The 5.25 inch blade is hand forged from 1084 high carbon tool steel at RC 60. A forged copper guard is soldered to the blade and formed to flow into the choil. Below a stacked leather collar, a stunning handle is crafted from Osage orange wood with an aquafortis acid stain and a dazzling array of inlaid wire. Each of the brass, copper and silver wires is meticulously inlaid into the wood by hand and polished to a comfortable finish. A finely forged knife with a uniquely embellished handle that you will be proud to own.
