Blades are often shipped with a slight initial curve. This should be maintained or increased. Straightening or reversing this curve may reduce the springiness of the blade resulting in easier bending. Our steel hilts are currently available in several models, finishes, and guard types. This allows for a range of customization to meet the buyer's requirements.
All hilts come in either a factory blue black or wire brushed gray finish.
Grips are of rock maple and banded at both ends to eliminate splitting. These come in a natural wood or black stain finish. Other colors are available on request. These new hilts are considerably different from and superior to our earlier spun bowl models. Differences are as follow.
