This is truly a stunning blade. Made from 1095 high carbon steel it has a slight amount of brute de forge at the ricasso area and an acid etch on the blade to show off the well contrasted hamon design. The guard is made from 150 year old wrought iron which has been hand forged and the spacer is marble style epoxy which compliments the sculpted african blackwood handle. due to its size this is a slightly forward weighted blade which lends to it being a good chopping blade.
