A peen is the end of the head of a hammer that is opposite the face and is used for bending, shaping, or cutting the material struck. It is often used to fix, or flatten, the pins that hold the bolsters in place. A natural part of that process is to lay a piece of leather over the knife to protect the bolster as the pin is peened. Canal Street has taken their idea for this unusual knife handle from that process.
The 3-3/8" mirror polished Trailing Drop Point blade is 440C at 57-59 Rc. The handle is russet colored Peened Leather with nickel silver bolsters and brass CSC inlay. Measures 7-5/8" from tip to butt and weighs 4.9 oz. Made in the U. S. A.
