Hand made in Oakland California by blacksmith Elias Sideris in 52100 carbon steel with a milled brass ferrule, and antique Honduran rosewood wood handle. The blade is ground with a convex face thin behind the edge and is oil quenched and hardened to approximately 61 HRC giving them an excellent blend of edge formation, toughness and easy sharpening.

Handle has a 'rat tail' grooved (named after the rat tail file traditionally used to shape bolsters in a similar fashion) brass ferrule 1/2 bolster with a brass pinned antique Hondural rosewood handle. 

Elias began knife making in 2011 and worked for many years in Greenfield Massachusetts which has a very rich history of American knife and tool making before moving out to Oakland California.

This is a carbon steel knife. Carbon steel is expected to develop a dark patina with use. It needs to be hand washed and towel dried soon after use. Do not air dry. Do not put it in the dishwasher. Long exposure to moisture and debris will result in rust. Any rust development should be removed with a light abrasive.

Use on a quality wooden cutting board will help the knife stay sharper for longer. Use on hard surfaces like plates and bamboo will reduce the edge life and can result in edge damage.

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most western knives perform best with a medium finish starting around 1000 grit. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Steel honing rods work well with this knife.
