This knife is hand forged from three layers of 80crv2 high carbon steel, with a thin vein of pure nickel between the layers, presenting as the bright silver line running through the blade. It has been forged and ground to be a thin blade that is both physically light and razor sharp, designed to cut vegetables and meats with high precision and ease. 
It has been finished with a black etch, which overtime will turn grey, however the vein of nickle will always remain bright, catching the light in a unique way that can be most pleasing. 
 
The handle is made from multiple offcuts of red and brown mallee burl, too small to use and too tempting to throw away. Instead I have cast black epoxy resin to fill the voids and highlight the negative space that is both very stable full of glorious detail and unique character the closer you look. It is designed to provide an excellent grip for the users hand, finely polished and impossible to ever be perfectly replicated. 
 
The handle steps down to a forged bolster, which provides a comfortable sense of mass for the users hand to grab. It is accompanied with a custom hairy oak sheath, polished and designed to stay securely on the knife. 
 
The dimensions are:  145mm long, 47mm high and 320mm over all
 
Please note that this is a high carbon steel knife, which means it must be stored completely dry or it may develop excessive patina or rust. This is most easily done by wiping down the knife with a damp cloth after using, then drying it completely before putting it away. The is the small trade off for an incredibly durable steel that stays sharp for a long time and is easily resharpened when the time comes.
