The K11 is a hand forged railroad spike knife with a strength and weight that will last for years. If you’re looking for groomsmen gift ideas or trying to think of a birthday gift for him, or a 6th anniversary gift, here is your answer. Created by blacksmiths with years of dedication to quality craftsmanship and heritage tradition, this wrought iron knife has a twisted handle that can be personally engraved on the head for any special occasion. Add a name, initials, a date, or special message. For use or display, consider a leather knife sheath or railroad spike display stand to complete a knife gift for him or her. Knives are 8.5″ total length, 4.5″ blade, 4″ handle. Wire brushed finish with a natural wax coating to protect the blade. Dimensions may vary slightly as each item is handmade and forged independently. We file sharpen and harden them to hold an edge. For a finer edge the customer must apply a wet stone or graphite stick. We recommend these knives for light to medium duty use. They are intended for average functionality as well as show. We do not recommend them for heavy duty use or survival type use.
