Totally handmade knife for camping or kitchen use made totally from recycled materials. This knife is cut and made from an L6 saw blade steel so it is very hard. The blade has been heat treated and has a high Scandinavian grind to hold a sharp edge with lots of use.The blade had been polished to an almost mirror like finish.The handle is attached using solid brass pins through the full tang blade and is made from a Black Walnut tree all of the way from West Virginia. It is finished with linseed oil and beeswax. The leather sheath is also handmade and sown and has the extra safety strap to secure the knife in the sheath. This knife is fantastic for camping and/or kitchen use.
