This everyday carry knife is made from a single piece of 1095 steel. I was trying to come up with a unique design that you wouldn't see in a big box store. You can also turn the blade upside down and use it to simply open boxes or anything else that doesn't require a dedicated blade. I decided to use slightly thicker 550 cord on the handle for a more tactical look and feel. The overall length is 9". The blade is 4 & 1/8" long and 1'" wide. The handle is 4 & 7/8" long and 1 & 1/4" wide. As always, it will come exactly as pictured and sharpened. Thank you!
