Hand forged from 1095 high carbon steel, this blade features a ferrule like transition to the handle. It is 10.75" overall and has a blade length of 5.5" to the ferrule. The spacer is brass and the handle is stabilized mimosa burl. It is pinned and marked with my 24k gold cherry blossom on the handle.
This is a strong, very light knife that tapers from over 3/8ths inch at the ferrule quickly to the tip. I like this style of knife for its classic lines and because it does not have a bar stock look or feel to it. It would make a good utility knife or very elegant desk display.
