Mini Hmong Knife | 1084

This is ONE (1) single knife with the sheath. These are all handmade by me and therefore, will all differ a tiny bit. The handles are made from offcuts in my shop, but are always hardwoods: gonçalo alves, padauk, bloodwood, osage orange, etc. Any requests can be made in the "notes" section in the checkout page. The blade is made from 1084 steel, heat treated (quenched in Parks 50 and tempered) to approximately 58–60 HRC, and sanded to a matte finish. Ferrules are always brass. I offer two traditional blade shapes: straight spine and angled spine.
 
These knives are plain high carbon steel, which means they are more durable than stainless steel, but will rust if left in wet/moist conditions. These do NOT come sharpened—you will need a wet stone to sharpen them. The first initial sharpening will take anywhere from 5–30 minutes depending on how much experience you have sharpening knives. Once the blade has been sharpened, the following sharpenings will take very little time.
