Have received it and it is a utility knife in form of a golok and the blade is laminated. But I only have removed the active rust and have decided to let the blade dark like this. Maybe by time the handle will get a new ferrule from brass.

Very good piece, Detlef! Good work: I knew there were some nice laminations hiding...
![]() Interesting to see that the enlarged tip was planned for and not just forged out from uniform stock. BTW, what is the blade's thickness? Regards, Kai |

I've known it as well, the lamination was visible despite the hard corrosion, one reason to clean the blade.It's a very massive knife, it's 9 mm thick at the base and still 3 mm near the tip of the blade. Regards, Detlef |
