1,6mm 15N20 blade, wenge handle and SS guard.
Blade is 210mm, 135mm handle for a total lenght of 350mm.

 

Beautiful! Love the 'scratchy' look between the tones on the blade

 

Very nice Fred I really love the dark elegant satin type finishes you do!!!

 

Thank you !

 

Well done. I like the hamon effect.

 

Thanks, but no hamon ... that is only the patina effect...

 

Beautiful knife, how does the patina hold up to everyday use? Does it get scratched easily?

 

Thank you, at this day patina holds well, no scratch... and some more patina gets on by using it in the kitchen everyday.

 

Beau-tee-full!!! I am a real fan of your work. Very envious. Nice. Nice. Nice.

 

Thanks !
