The knife measures 3.5 inches closed, with blade lengths of 2 5/8 inches. This piece has been sold and is preserved in the Rough Cut Lapidary gallery as an example of past work.
About Montana Petrified WoodPetrified wood forms when buried wood becomes mineralized, commonly through silica-rich groundwater, while much of the original microscopic and larger-scale wood structure can remain preserved. When cut and polished, petrified wood can reveal grain, growth structures, and a wide variety of colors produced by minerals introduced during fossilization. The material used for these handles is from Montana.
