1095 is a high carbon steel (not a stainless steel) and is commonly used in heavy duty tools. It can carry an extremely sharp edge. 1095 makes great steel for heavy duty choppers and survival knives because of its extreme durability and resistance to chipping, easy sharpening and edge retention. It is much tougher than premium stainless steels. Because it is a high carbon steel, it is very important to keep it clean and oiled. Take extra care to store a knife made of 1095 out of its sheath (this is a good idea for all knives) and keep a thin layer of lubricant on the steel when not in use.

The solid brass bolster (finger guard) will require polishing and/or buffing. Brass bolster is fitted to the tang. Brass pins are not required to attach the guard. Your handle will hold the brass guard in place.

This is a stock photo of the item. It is not the exact blank you will receive. Each item may vary and measurements may vary as each blank is custom hand-made.
As this blank is made with high carbon steel which is prone to rusting, small flecks of rust may appear on the blade. These can be rubbed out with out any simple metal polish. We do our best to keep the blanks completely rust-free, but due to the nature of the metal, this is not always 100% possible.
