The blade is hand-forged and tempered to about 50 on the Rockwell hardness scale, giving it a durable edge that withstands the rigors of outdoor use without becoming brittle. Along the tang, you’ll find five pre-drilled holes designed for attaching handle scales securely with rivets or screws, plus a lanyard hole to keep the knife within easy reach during your tasks in the wild. This blade carries the heritage of traditional craftsmanship, reflecting methods passed down through generations of bladesmiths.
