<br />The bolsters provide extra strength because the handle, blade and head are drop-forged as a whole rather than just forging the blade. The blade is specially hardened and tempered to provide a long-lasting edge.<br /><br />The bolsters have a domed head which helps to extend the usable life by preventing splintering and mushrooming from continued use. They are fitted with a high-quality hand guard for added safety.<br /><br />Manufactured to BS 3066.<br />Made in the UK.<br />">
