This great slöyd knife has been made from hard wearing 52100 steel which will hold its edge for a really long time especially with regular honing on a stropping paddle.
The length of the blade allows for long slicing cuts from heel to tip. There is a belly that runs from heel to tip with no straight spots. The width of the blade from heel to about midway means that you can confidently really get in and do some grunt work. The spine is rounded making it comfortable for push and lever cuts. The edge leads up to a strong but fine tip with a distal taper that allows for finer cuts and easy turning within a cut.
The octagonal handle allows for easy grip without fatigue.
It comes razor sharp straight out of the quality leather sheath.
The sheath is made from 4mm leather that has been glued, stitched and riveted with burnished edges and includes a belt loop.
