This jungle knife has a 1.2550 (60WCrV8) blade forged from round stock. A single chunk of Ceylon iron wood was used for handle and sheath and the fittings are made from fire finished copper.
The tang goes through the handle and is riveted on the butt forming the center of the flower.
The blade has 200 mm in length and the overall length measures 345 mm.
The origin of the name comes from the bird of prey in whose territory I found the wood.
