This show-stopper from Behring Made© is hand forged from 3/16" thick high carbon 01 tool steel and it measures 4 1/4" from tip to guard with a razor sharp hollow grind and our hammermark finish. The brass guard is soldered in place above black and blue fiber with brass spacers that top a gorgeous stabilized maple burl handle that's pinned through the tang with brass. The figure quickly reminds one of Van Gogh's Starry Night- you gotta see it to believe it!
