This custom chef knife was made from a billet of AUS8A steel so it will hold up to some use, The handles are deep stabilized double dyed Boxelder burl wood with some great colors, they are attached with cutlery corby nuts and one custom mosaic pin so the handles will not move under severe use, Knife is marked with my MAB logo as the maker of this fine knife, The knife is 13″ inches overall with a 8″ inch blade that is 2″ inches at its widest point and just under 1/8″ inch thick, your knife will also come with a black zip up knife case for storing your custom knife when it’s not in use. All my custom knives come with a hand signed COA telling more about the knife, when it’s was made time spent and so on. This one of a kind should last a good many lifetimes and would make a great gift for the knife collector that thought they had everything. Shipping is $6.00 for USPS priority mail with insurance and signature conformation. Sorry NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
