The DHK knives were designed in the deep hollers of Eastern Tennessee. The blade is made from a premium steel that is hardened to about 60R and holds an amazing edge (one of the best blades we have used!). The handles are made from beautiful Maple or Eastern Red Cedar and ergonomically shaped to fit most hands. The 1 3/4" DH Carving Knife has a 1 3/4" blade with a 5 1/4" handle. Handle colors vary.
