HB-96; the laminated carbon blade is again about 4 3/8" (114 mm) long and 7/8" (22 mm) wide. It's about .147" thick, and comes with the black of the heat treat left on the sides for a rustic look. This is the blade used with the current version of the Viking. The base of the tang is squared off and could be used with the same bolsters as the Lauri carving blades.
