This blade is handmade from high quality D-2 steel.

D-2 is a high-carbon tool steel, capable of holding a sharp edge for a long period of time. It is also much more resistant to corrosion than 1095. D-2 is called "semi-stainless", because it offers more stainless properties than high carbon steels, but it is also much tougher than premium stainless steels. D-2 has high wear-resistance and abrasion-resistance properties. It is heat treated and offers a hardness up to 57 HRC. This knife blank is custom designed by us and 100% hand-forged. Blank may require buffing and polishing to get out any scuffs in the surface.

The solid brass bolster (finger guard) will require polishing and/or buffing. Brass bolster is fitted to the tang. Brass pins are not required to attach the guard. Your handle will hold the brass guard in place.
