Blade Steel: 1095 (60hrc +cryo @ Peters')
Blade Length: 3" (2.5" cutting)
Overall Length: 6.25"
Handle Material: Canvas Micarta (homemade)
Ring Diameter: Just under 1"
Finish: Ferric Chloride acid bath plus stonewash

Fits my smaller hands snug but it's designed to fit on the ring finger and have the pinky rest on the outside for larger hands. Or reversed on the middle finger with index resting outside. Also feels great in a point-grip style hold. Made using the stock removal method with and angle grinder and 2x72. Ring started as a 1/2" drilled hole, hand filed with a round bastard file, then when large enough finished it off with a Dremel and 120 grit sanding drum. Scotchbrite (400-600grit) finish, then acid stonewashed. The spine is all satin to make a twotone look.

Unfortunately I will no longer be able to take custom orders for Karambit and other ringed style knives for at the most 6 months. I have a few more I'm finishing and those are it until I replace a few pieces of equipment. Thank you :)
