This knife has been hand forged from 80crv2 high carbon steel, with a thick 5mm spine, tapering to a around 2mm at the tip. It is designed to carry a little extra weight just forward of the connection of the handle, which helps relieve stress on the users wrist when working for long periods. It is razor sharp and designed to cut hard root vegetables seamlessly with minimal effort and no splitting, with a snub nose that is a nod to the Japanese "nakiri". 
 
The handle is sculpted from an unknown burl timber, octagonal and designed to fit very comfortably into the users hand ensure a secure grip while in operation. It nods towards the traditional Japanese "wa" handle, and has a black G10 and brass bolster to add a little bling. 
 
It has an accompanying wooden sheath made from red cedar, which has been custom made to hold the knife in place with friction at the neck of the knife, keeping the cutting edge safe and the blade secure. 
 
Blade length is 5mm at the neck, 2mm at tip 135mm long, 50mm deep and 265 overall. 
 
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.
