Notes:

• Knife blanks are cut from premium kiln dried lumber.
• Sapwood is not considered a defect and may be found in some boards.
• Due to the nature of wood, no two pieces are alike, and movement, shrinkage or expansion can occur.
• Dimensions may vary +/- ⅛"
• Pictures are a representation.
• Wood dust has been known to cause allergic reactions among wood workers, therefore sufficient ventilation, dust extraction equipment, and the use of proper respirators and eye protection is essential.
