This one has a six and a half inch rectangular blade in pattern-welded Damascus, set into pakkawood scales layered in tan and dark brown with two brass pins. About ten and a half inches overall, with a four inch handle sized for one-handed control. A leather belt sheath ships with it. Straight edge, hand sharpened. Wash it by hand, dry it, and give the blade a drop of oil now and then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pattern-welded Damascus (1095 \/ 15N20)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pakka wood, full tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight edge, hand sharpened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheath:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crownridge char leather blade guard, pale welt, straw-gold saddle stitching; included at no extra cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Crownridge Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45903292989575,"sku":"CRK-CLV-K09-02","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/4925\/0439\/files\/hollow-6-5-damascus-meat-cleaver-pakkawood-side.jpg?v=1789928220"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/4925\/0439\/collections\/hollow-6-5-damascus-meat-cleaver-pakkawood-side.jpg?v=1790716918","url":"https:\/\/crownridgeknives.com\/collections\/damascus-cleavers-boning-knives.oembed","provider":"Crownridge Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
