Description
Uzbek full-tang field knife with a blade forged from U8A steel. I emphasize the word "forged" – Uzbek blacksmiths do not use steel in flat bars or sheets, but instead source it from used milling cutters and circular saws, which must be forged down. Drop point profile, full hollow grind. Handle scales (on the tang) made of stabilized maple. Slit-style Finnish sheath made of thick leather decorated with an embossed ornament.
Overall length: 240 mm
Blade length: 115 mm
Blade width (max.): 21 mm
Blade thickness (max.): 2.5 mm
