Overview
This knife by Joanne Wright forged this hunter from 5160 carbon steel, hand rub satin finished, .157" blade stock and .839" blade depth, hidden tang construction. It was forged closely to shape, ensuring a keen, long lasting edge. A differential heat treatment ensures a hard, keen cutting edge with a softer, resilient spine. The handle has cape black ironwood (Olea capensis) with an Arizona desert ironwood spacer. Black ironwood is an African tree species in the olive family. It has a nice bright tone with darker figure. The handle fills your hand and provides a comfortable grip. A small oval brass guard prevents your hand from sliding over the blade. To keep the knife close at hand, a tooled pouch style leather custom sheath made by Joanne is included. Excellent condition.
