Description
This work knife bears a blade forged from carbon steel, a material long favored by bladesmiths for its capacity to hold a keen edge and its relative ease of sharpening in the field. Carbon steel demands attentive care to ward off rust, a small price for its cutting performance. The blade’s dimensions,6 inches long and 1-5/8 inches wide,strike a balance between precision and durability, while the overall length of 11-1/4 inches and weight of 5 ounces make it a practical tool for many tasks.
- Overall length: 11-1/4″
- Blade length: 6″ long, 1-5/8″ wide
- Weight: 5 oz
Personalizing a blade with initials is a tradition as old as the craft itself. Smiths and owners alike would mark their tools to claim them or to pass them down through generations, adding a mark of identity and pride.
Fun fact: Carbon steel knives were prized in medieval times not only for their sharpness but also because they could be easily restored by simple grinding and honing, making them dependable in both everyday work and on the battlefield.
