What the crud!  I'm gone just a few days and this place goes to pot. 5 closed threads in 3 days. That's not razzle dazzle. I guess there needs to be a lame 101 class here.

The custom Grade "A" Appalachian hickory handle features a prominent grip and a slim body that allows it to flex a bit, which improves the ergonomics. White sapwood and red heartwood are equally suitable as there is no difference in the specific density or strength of the wood. A Linseed oil coating has been applied to protect the handle.

The cutting edge of the 5160 alloy steel head has been tempered to Rc 50-54 to hold an edge, then hand sharpened by an experienced artisan using increasingly fine abrasives and finished with leather stropping.

 

Head: 2 lb. drop forged 5160 alloy steel, tempered to Rockwell 50-54.

 

Handle: Custom 24-inch (before assembly) Grade "A" Appalachian hickory, selected for grain orientation and density.

 

Overall Weight: Approximately 2-3/4 lbs.
