The colouring here is very dark, as the photos struggle to show. Almost black but with deep blue and purple tones. Some banding in the steel is visible in the patina bringing some red tones towards the center. Paired with a blue dyed walnut handle, shaped perfect for a pinch grip hold with the raised back and narrow front fitting the palm of the hand perfectly.

80crv2 is a tough steel so you don’t have to be too worried about chipping it despite the thin edge although high quality knives should always be treated with respect. Like most carbon steels, it is easy to sharpen and keep a hair-popping edge.
