I had several old 80's F. Dick Esslingen Germany blade blanks laying around for many years.....between Custom leather work and some painting art I grabbed two of these ruff and rusty looking blade blanks....not full tang, but hidden tail tang. Since I had some exotic wood laying around, I just went for it.....they came out decent an will be added to the kitchen arsenal....hidden from my wife!!!
They are sharp enough to amputate ur fingers, lol...not just cutting them!!
