This knife measures 6 5/8" in overall length and has a 3/32" thick straight tapered blade forged from 1095. The handle is ebony with 1/16" brass pins. The "guard" area has been peened over for a nice comfortable feel.
This one is for my mom's birthday. Forged 1095 piece is 12.5" overall with an 8 1/4" blade, has a pewter bolster, octagonal curly maple handle with 1/16" steel pins. The thin blade slices hot bread with ease.
