Handmade from 80crv2 high carbon steel.. Top notch in house pirate heat treat! This thing is sharp and tough! It has a beefy 1/4" thick spine with some slicey flat ground bevels that transition to convex at the tip... You wanna baton through some wood then cut up some steak at your campsite? This is your blade... The blade features deep fullers, laser engraved skull and bones touchmark, laser engraved "Pirate Forge" on the spine, engraved jimping, and a wicked satin finish. The handle features my "Copper Relic" style recessed fit up.... Ive added recessed forged copper plates under the wood! The tang is super comforfortable. All edges have been rounded and transition nicely in hand! T
