Handle: Red deer antler from the Scottish highlands
 
Blade: Hewn & Hone 6.3mm round tang, approx 60 x 2mm, bearing steel.
 
Note: This blade is forged by and heat treated by Nic Westermann, the grinding is done by Hewn & Hone. The blade is forged from 1/4″ bearing steel rod-  adds rigidity, the blade is 2mm thick at the spine with distal taper towards the tip. This small sloyd has a compound grind on the flats, this means that the 25 degree edge bevel is very short, allowing the blade to turn in a concave cut very easily, they are excellent for finishing difficult areas of a spoon, especially the neck.
 
The tips are very fine and these blades should not be used for prying to any degree.
 
A leather slip to protect the blade is included
 
To help keep your handle in good condition the knife includes a tin of Ash & Axe organic Cambridge beeswax and tung oil wax.
