This pocket knife has a Wharncliffe Blade made of differentially heat treated 1095. It features stainless steel liners, pins and bolsters. The handle is made from elephant ivory, buffalo horn, and figured cocobolo wood. It has vine and thorn filework along the spine and continuing on the the blade. Closed length is 3.75 inches. Opened length is 6.5 inches. I put 70 hours of work into this knife and everything is done by hand.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
While traveling through Tuscany in 2008, I had the privilege of learning knifemaking from a local artisan in a small town called Scarperia. This little town has been a center for knife and sword makers since the 1300′s and I left with some basic skills and a new passion. Now I have built on those initial lessons, developing a technique that is all my own, but based on generations of Old World knowledge. We strive to make the best knife you’ve ever owned, completely by hand, using exotic woods mated to the metal that’s best suited to your demands. Our name, Chiradyne, is derived from the Greek word for “hand” and the Greek word for “power”. We believe that you’ll be empowered to create great things with your hands, using the great tools we've created with our hands.

For Straight Razors4.2Love the work, just took longer than planned. However maker communicated reasons for delays and was very professional. The craftmanship was exactly what I would have hoped for...would buy from the maker again in the future!
