please look at the pictures, there are some gnarly bits of spilt weight iron which I’m not super happy about, however there’s a lot of work in a knife like this and it’s a lovely piece of steel so in place of throwing it on the scrap I’ll offer it up about 50% what it would be. Sold as seen and all that jazz, the bevels have been machine finished on this and it’s been etched to reveal the funky wrought iron

These knives are made from carbon steels not stainless steel, this allows them to take a fine edge fairly easily but has a downside that they will rust not given the proper care and attention. Carbon steel forms a patina which can be very beautiful and acts as a protective layer slowing further corrosion.
