As you can see, Snakehead has the kind of thick dished forehead of it's name sake.  Very useful as an anvil point for striking with a mallet.  Also a useful place to strike a magnesium stick for starting fires.  The backbone is lined with a row of very sharp little serrated teeth, just like it's name sake, but these steel teeth are a lot more useful for cutting rope, tendon or anything else that resist a standard cutting edge.  Like the rest of the Blackwater series, the large tapered handle has a brass double guard, brass hilt and a walnut handle with a palm swell to minimize hot spots as you work.
