Hello,
This is a medium flex trailing point blade - awesome for butchering/portioning. Its great on vegetables too and has plenty of flat edge near the heel for general purpose boardwork.
The edge profile is the same as a rapala filet knife but with added height to aid in kitchen duties. It is not as thin as a traditional filet knife.
The steel is magnacut at about rc62...air quenched with a cold treatment.
Blade is 8-1/4" length by 1.8" at the heel - from heel to birds beak of the handle is 5" - OAL of 13-7/8"
Thickest part of blade is .100"
Then tempered multiple times for the rc62 hardness.
Blade is ground tear drop cross section with fullers and a chamfered spine and choil. Distal taper is pronounced allowing for medium flex.
Handle is amboyna burl with a bit of sapwood. The ferrule is Alaskan musk ox. There is a phenolic pin along with west systems G Flex holding it all together.
$400 shipped CONUS. paypal preferred. Let me know if you have any questions.
