Highlighting the beauty of salvaged materials, this blade is made by stacking and fusing bourbon barrel bands with nickel and high carbon steel. The high carbon working edge is protected in a labor intensive recycled cladding. The blade features a versatile, slightly convex grind that is both thin behind the edge and easy to maintain. The full tang bolster imparts a stout feel while the majority hidden tang adds to the comfort and ease of maintenance while shedding weight.
