This small paring knife, forged from high-quality Japanese Takefu Shiro 2 steel, features a sharp, durable edge that's easy to sharpen. The exotic hardwood handle has a simple feather design burned into it, with a hand-poured pewter bolster displaying detailed random file marks, adding to the style reminiscent of older turn of the century cutlery. A solid copper pin and some marine grade epoxy secures the blade into the handle. Included is an equally attractive hand-stitched veg tanned leather scabbard.
