The two steels take etching differently — one darkens, the nickel-bearing one stays bright — and that contrast is what draws the pattern out of the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the twist falls differently every time, the pattern on your knife exists nowhere\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eelse\u003cstrong\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e The photographs show the style, not the exact piece you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe blade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 4.5-inch drop point with a generous belly — the shape that actually works for skinning and field dressing, where you need to sweep along a hide without puncturing it.

Olive wood at the front, dark hardwood at the rear, divided by a green fibre spacer and secured with brass pins and a mosaic centre pin.
