Heel height at ~57mm
Distal taper from 4.0mm (handle) to 1.7mm (midway) to 0.5mm (tip)
Convex on the blade face with subtle concavity on the primary bevel
Handle: Octagonal magnolia with buffalo horn ferrule
Hand Orientation: ambidextrous
Saya/Sheath: none
Notes:
The blade is protected with lacquer. Remove with acetone before first use.
