These handmade woodcarving knives are ground from power hacksaw blades which are made from molybdenum allow steel.  The handle is walnut harvested in the Ozarks.  The handle is not polished smooth but finished with a coarse sandpaper and linseed oil which provides an excellent grip.  The uniqueness of these knives is the ease with which they slide through the wood.  A thin blade with stability from a little extra width.  Beauties!
