Blacksmith-style knives are the ultimate utility knife, known for being hardy and resilient tools designed to get the job done while being quick to make. These knives will feature an integral steel handle, tough 1075 steel, and an edge quenched blade to give the knife a hard blade and a tough spine. More than any other knife style the blacksmith's knife is a celebration of iron and the smiths skill.
