Blade. This 1095 high carbon spring steel blade is strong, light, abrasion
resistant, and is above all lively.
Tang. The grain structure of the hand-forged steel follows the form of the tang,
lending it remarkable strength. The tang is mild carbon steel,
which is just the right weight and gives the tool a nice feeling of stability
Handle. The tapered octagonal handle is inspired by the form and proportions
favored by the great toolmakers of early nineteenth century Sheffield, England.
The faceted design allows for easy and natural angle control. The handle does
not tend to rotate or slip in the hand. Made with North American black walnut,
it is light, stable, and strong.
