The Tribal Roots knife is a long, slender full-tang knife, similar in style to African knives found in museums. The blade is made from 1095 high-carbon steel, with a Scandinavian single-bevel grind. The handle is made from walnut, is attached with brass rivets, and is carved with detailed artwork.
The wooden sheath is very unique, made from walnut and carved with the same artwork as the handle. It also has a wooden belt loop. When sheathed, the knife and sheath form one smoothly flowing piece, which is quite attractive.
