Hand forged from W2 tool steel and featuring a differentially treated blade, with a hard RC62 edge and tough unhardened back. The guard is solid copper and is soldered to the blade for the ultimate durability. A copper pommel with a diamond washer and peened tang create a solid and reliable blade to handle connection. The handle is crafted from stacked discs of leather and red spacers, creating a solid and beautiful interface with the blade. Vine filework on the spine of the blade adds a civilized touch to a useful tool. Flat ground with a razor sharp convex edge, this is a classy and outdoor tough tool with an understated Scandinavian feel.
