I forged these from 52100 high carbon steel and heat treated them to Rc 60. The blade geometry is convex from the spine to the edge with a distal taper to the tip, there is no secondary grind, the the blade tapers all the way to the edge which makes for a very slicy cut. Sharpening is much easier than a blade with a secondary edge but will need a different process. I can do a quick lesson if anyone is interested and UTube has many instructions for sharpening wood carving tools. Handles are stabilized figured maple, the larger Sloyd knife is 8 inches overall with a 3 1/2 inch blade. The smaller, detail knife is 6 inches overall with 1 1/2 inch blade. Both handles are sculpured with a palm swell for comfort and flattened at the third and fourth finger location for controll. Black Micarta and brass fixtures.
