I forged this small Iron Age style knife from high carbon steel though. These are really useful, simple blades you can easily take with you just about anywhere. Each knife comes with a fitted kydex sheath that could be worn as a necklace or carried in your pocket. Each one of these are individually hand forged and heat treated with a professional heat treat oven and commercial grade quench oils. The one you receive may look slightly different than the one pictured here.
