This process builds strong edge retention that holds up through repeated use. The skinner geometry gives you control for detailed cuts around joints and hide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFull tang construction runs the length of the handle for added strength and balance.
