I purchased this knife directly from the maker. It has never been carried, used, or sharpened. Blade is of 3/16" 1095 steel with tapered tang hand rubbed to 2000 grit, and etched to highlight it's remarkable hamon. Blade is ground to near zero, with a secondary bevel to prevent chipping. The spine is slightly rounded for batoning; spine edges are sharp for striking fire steel. Stabilized Koa wood scales from Burl source.
