These knives are supplied with a relatively rough edge and need to be sharpened before use. Available with a right or left handed bevel. Overall length: 10", with a tapered width from 1-1/8" to 7/8". Available in the original 1.5mm thicksteel, or 2.0mm right hand only version. Please also note that carbon steel will rust and it is not uncommon for these knives to come with a light coat of rust on them. This is easily removed with some steel wool and the sharpening process. A light coating of wax such as Renaissance Wax and regular use will prevent this for coming back.
