Ötzi is one of the Europe’s oldest natural preserved mummies. He is a treasure to the archaeological community due to the preservation of his remains, and his tools. In his tool kit, the iceman had a flint dagger affixed to a wood handle. This knife is inspired by that design, with a wire-wrapped handle and a braided leather cord for use as a neck knife.
Below are the detailed measurements of this knife. One important note: for best comfort and grip, the length of your middle finger should be similar to the circumference of the handle.
