I give you the Rugged Whiskey Raven EDC!  This blade is designed to either have your index finger or pinky in the hole. Makes for a great unique carry!  It also features our bulletproof in house heat treat.  If you havnt figured it out yet... all heat treats are not the same.  Just because another brand/maker uses a certain steel does not mean it will have the same performance as another makers.  Here at Pirate Forge our heat treat has been over 9 years in the making.  We dont just read off a recipe book or outsource heat treat.  We have used evidenced based practice to create and evolve on the finest heat treat we are capable of.    That being said this blade is made from 80CRV2 High Carbon Steel. It features free handed Flat ground primary bevels, a slicey 1/8" thick spine, aggressive jimping, Skull and Bones touchmark engraving, dark stonewash finish, and a polished razor sharp edge.  The Rugged Whiskey Raven comes with detailed hand fieldwork around the entire perimeter of the blade. The handle is made from upcycled Whiskey barrel oak wood.  We Broke down the old Whiskey barrel right here in the shop then I stored the pieces in my hot dry barn for over a year.  The pieces were then cut down to correct scale thickness and kiln dried for an additional 3 days.   Its pretty awesome because  I can still smell the Whiskey on the wood as im working with the wood.   After the handles are shaped and handsanded  they go through a process to give the wood nice texture and that timeless old aged look.  We seal the wood putting a protective coat of Pirate Forge Booty Wax  finish over the entire piece. As far as care for this blade I recommend using the blade wax we make right here at the forge!  Applying this wax will protect your investment.  It will help prevent rust as well as protect that wood handle.  This is a true Pirate Style blade that begs to be used.  The wear only adds to the look and mystique.   This blade comes with a made in house custom leather pocket sheath shown in listing. Heavy veg tanned leather, black stitching, rustic antique finish, skull and bones/Pirate Forge engraving, and a discreet carry customs clip.  Sheath is ambidextrous.  The screws can be removed and placed back in whatever position you desire.
