ok this the first of a pair of large cutting knives , its based on the greek kopis , the famed blade of alexander the greats army , and believed to be the forerunner for the also famed napalese kukri \ gurkha knife.
constructed from 4mm thick o1 tool steel with a differential temper , meaning the cutting edge is hard to retain the cutting edge, and the spine - ricaso and tang all spring tempered for flexability.
the blade its self is 27 cm or 10 3\4" long 5cm or 2" at the widest point . it has a convex grind for strength when chopping , this is a superior grind for chopping tools in my mind as the cross section is stronger than a flat grind. blade is satin finnished .
the handle is a very nice piece of cocobolo wood with multipal brass pins and single lanyard tube.
the sheath is made from 3 thicneses of leather , hand brushed dye effect that ranges from light tan to dark brown at the edges and very dark brown on the back, it has a bras rectangle hoop and a belt hanger for better movement when walking etc .
asking price is £185 which covers paypal fees and firstclass recorded delivery .
