This knife is forged from 1080 High Carbon Steel Railroad Track. The blade features forged remnants that tell the story of how it was shaped. It has been hand polished creating a razor sharp cutting edge. The handle is Vintage Micarta with a rich brown/red bark and a more Carmel colored core. Super interesting stuff that will age and patina beautifully. The knife measures 12.25 inches overall and the handle is 5 inches. I am raffling this piece off and when all of the 68 entries sell I will draw for the winner live on my Facebook page. The knife will ship for free with insurance in the lower 48.
