Description
The HD, meaning heavy duty, describes this blade well. Forged from high carbon steel, the blade is hand-shaped and heat-treated to maintain a sharp edge through hard use. The full tang runs the entire length of the handle, giving the knife strength and balance. Wrapped tightly in thick, hand-stitched genuine leather, the grip stays secure even when wet or slick. The hammer pommel, made from blackened steel, serves as a solid counterweight and can be used as a striking surface when needed. The knife is paired with a sturdy leather belt sheath, crafted to protect the blade and keep it ready at your side.
