This knife was made in my backyard in Northern GA. I really had no idea of what type of knife i was going to make in the beginning. As i was forging the bevels the blade took on a natural curve so i went with it. I quenched it in warmed water after annealing and normalizing the blade. It was tempered at 450 F for 2 hours. Roughly 5 manhours went into this piece. Sharpness is guaranteed and it comes with a personalized and signed note from myself. Shipped in protective packaging and oiled to prevent rust.
