The blade is 4-1/8" long, 15/16" at widest and about 1/8" thick at the bolster. Distal taper, flat bevels finished to 800 grit. The blade was etched to reveal the steel structure. This is one of two blades hand forged from the same ingot of wootz.
There are several surface defects on the right side of the blade. I forged very close to the final shape and did not want to grind too much off. They do not affect the performance and are pretty common for wootz steel.
The handle is Walnut with light figure; it was vacuum treated and polished.
The guard is Wooly Mammoth task bark. Sculpted from one piece and polished. The front side has natural bark surface.
This knife comes with the leather sheath. Hand stitched; dyed; hand tooled and treated with the Saddle Oil.
I ask $215 (OBO) for it shipped ConUS

Thank you
