Dimension: 43 1/2"L. A massive, single-edged carbon steel blade that widens dramatically toward the tip, ending in an upswept point. This forward-heavy weight distribution provides incredible chopping momentum. The blade face shows prominent pitting and a darkened patina consistent with aged, hand-forged steel. A large iron ring forged directly onto the end of the tang. Historically, this ring was used to attach fabric tassels or wrap a wrist cord to prevent losing the heavy weapon in the heat of battle.
