This vintage duo carving set consists of a knife which is 12 inches long and a honing steel which is 11 inches long. The handles are 4.5 inches long, are a creamy ivory Bakelite color, and have a stainless thumb guard where they are forged into the blade. On the knife blade is the inscription: MIRILIUM STAINLESS WASHINGTON FORGE USA. There is slight noticeable tarnish in the ridges of the honing steel. A well constructed vintage duo that will still hold up to any carving detail.
