This is a large half twist/half cube blade that is made out of, what I'm told, is a bolt from a ship wreck. Again, I cannot confirm where the bolt originated from, but it is definitely old! Please note, there are cracks in the blade. They are not deep, maybe 1/16" of an inch. The cracks are from the bolt itself, not my forging process. But, that is reflected in the price But, that is reflected in the price in case you were wanting this for everyday use. The full length of the knife is 10". The blade is 4 & 3/8" long and 1 & 3/8" wide. As with all my knives, it will come sharpened and exactly as pictured. Thank you for looking!
