Forged from 52100 high carbon steel heat treated in my Evenheat kiln to Rc 58-60 with three normalizing and two tempering cycles producing a fine grain structure throughout the blade.
Flat grind with forged texture on the flats
Full distal tapered tang
The stabilized handle is an unknown species because it was part of a trade but it is extremely hard. My guess is that it is spalted hickory.
The hatchet style handle is very comfortable in the hand
Overall length: 13 inches
Blade: 8 inches
Thickness at the spine near the index finger is about 3/16 inch with a taper to the butt, edge and tip
Weight: 14.3 ounces
Depth at the forefinger: 1 3/4 inches
Leather scabbard with a belt loop for a right hand carry.
