This is a custom order that can be made from different types of steel. The one pictured is 1084, but one of my favorite steels for this blade is 1095. I can also do stainless, but high carbon is preferred for edge retention. I try to create a beautiful Hamon line so each blade is unique and different.
Handle material is typically magnolia, but I like to mix it up and use the out of ordinary exotic wood. The one pictured is palm wood.
All blades are created and built by me in my Eastern Virginia Shop.
