I'm excited to offer you this little knife! It's only 6" overall, and a convenient size for every day carry, but big enough to get lots of jobs done. I love the size, it feels really good in the hand using various grip styles. The steel is an excellent high carbon band saw steel from Germany, known as 115W8 and 1.2442, AISI O-7, quenched in fast oil and tempered for a final Rockwell "C" hardness of 64-65. That's pretty hard! But the steel is very tough and has excellent wear resistance for a low alloy tool steel. The edge was sharpened at 10° per side, and it will grab the ridges of your fingerprints instantly, extremely sharp. The spine features some small jimping near the tip, for that forefinger on the spine grip style (modified "filipino"?). Handle is Turkish walnut, with black micarta pins and black G10 liners. Knife comes with a custom made kydex sheath with metal belt clip. Thanks for taking a look. If you like this piece, but are interested in a different handle material, or steel selection, simply contact me and we can work out an order!
