Hollow edge knife blade 2 13/16" long. The blade is set into a light-colored wood handle 3 5/16" long; this joint is reinforced by a brass ferrule 15/32" long. The ferrule has a seam which aligns with the cutting edge of the blade. The handle is smallest in diameter at the ferrule and grows in width, becoming bulbous, before rounding off. The handle is oval in cross-section.
