Laurin Carving 62mm with ricasso hammered Blade

This would be a good blade for a small puukko knife, maybe a neck knife. The ricasso (the squared portion ar the base of the blade) is not traditional, but does make it easier to get a tight fit between the base of the blade and the bolster/guard, which is important because you don't want any moisture getting inside your handle. This blade has a hammered finish, which resembles the look of hand-fiorged blades. I think it's a nice touch.
