Handles are made from "Cocobolo toned" Pakawood, a dyed lamination of birch impregnated with an acrylic which adds strength. The securely riveted blade is made of an alloy steel, perfectly ground to an angle that enables carvers to make the precise and crisp cuts that chip carving demands. These knives are shaped and sculpted to fit comfortably in your hand for hours of tireless carving. Length 5-1/2". Honing required before use.
