Molten metal twisting over what looks to be gears and tangling itself together to cool. The Traverse Spiral Railroad Knife is a railroad spike knife hand forged from a discarded railroad spike. This full tang beauty is therefore composed of carbon steel with a handle that has a hand cut design. Two spirals twist up the handle with gear-like teeth protruding around them. The design provides a comfortable and stable grip. The blade itself is a beautiful straight back style with bluing finish toward the spine of the knife and a silver, polished finish on the sharp edge. The Traverse Spiral comes sharpened with a genuine leather sheath equipped with a belt loop for safe storage and easy carry. Overall Length: 10 Inches. Weight: 0.65 lbs.
