Tribal Utility Knife with two-tone "tribal wrap"

Fast Becoming one of my most popular models,
is this exceptionally-fine example of the "Tribal Utility Knife"

This one has a beautiful blade that is a stock-reduction creation with Hamon out of 1095 carbon steel, and features:
African Blackwood Handle with Purpleheart inlay and rosin impregnated  
(so no moisture or food-stuffs can be absorbed)
1mm woven natural and purple line that is rosin-impregnated and registered over a blind pin.

This is a robust and tough knife for a little knife....that is really not all that little at:
11.5" OAL with a 5.5" blade.

With room for knuckles over the cutting board on this one,
This wonderful might become your favorite knife in the kitchen.
Super-handy for daily meal-prep and very comfortable too.

I hope you enjoy seeing these images:)
