Handforged from AEBL stainless steel! You wont find these anywhere else... First off,  Stainless is way more difficulty to forge than regular carbon steels.. It is air hardening and requires a great deal of work and care to make it happen.. Also It is thought that forging destroys the grain structure of the stainless... and it does.. but I was able to come up with a heat treat that brings it back to a smooth fine grain! Again, just as the forging takes more work so does this heat treat.  Anyways, about the blade.... This blade features flat ground primary bevels with a satin finish, forged marks left on spine and ricasso, laser engraved touchark/logo.  The handle features a copper and Woolly Mammoth Molar bolster with dyed and stabilized Tasmanian blackwood handle.   This blade is ultimate performance and will cut like a laser.  It is not for chopping wood or bones.  It is for fine culinary use only.   It is extremely sharp and will hold the edge for a very long time... Also, being stainless it will not rust.  The   This Heirloom piece comes with a handmade leather slip sheath/retention snap.  The sheath is ambidextrous.  It is great for storing the blade as well as traveling with it on your adventures.  Sheath is heavy veg tanned leather, double stitched, hammered copper rivets, ornate tooling, retention snap with engraved skull and bones logo, and a hand painted antique finish.
