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 Australian beefwood, with a matching wooden sheath made from the same piece of timber. Both handle and sheath are polished and sculpted to fit into the users hand comfortably and securely, providing a secure connection to the blade for detailed work. 
 
The dimensions are:  145mm long, 47mm high and 275mm 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.
