Slice (a handmade knife)

02 tool steel stock, maple handle

A challenge in making, the knife blade is constructed using high grade 02 tool steel and was heat treated for molecular strength and edge retention. A stylistic blend between French and Japanese knife types, the blade is finished with a maple handle.
