A regular railroad spike with an elegant cubed half-twist handle. The blade is relatively flat at the cutting edge with a drop point coming off the spine. That allows, in my opinion, better and easier control of the knife and what it cuts. The overall length of the knife is 7 7/8". The cutting edge is 3 1/2" long and 7/8" wide. It's handle is 3 1/4" long and 5/8" wide. The remaining length is the transition from the handle to the cutting edge. As always, it will come exactly as pictured and sharpened. Thank you!
