Great Preowned knife from Cutco, model 1729 KB with a black brown handle. Total knife length is 12.5 inches : Blade 7 inches and handle 5.5 inches We have had a tough time figuring out whether or not this is a brown handle with slight swirling or more black. It?s not like the older ones that are obvious and it?s caused a bit of questioning by potential buyers. The bottom line is that it will fit with a black set better from a distance but if you look very close you can see brown undertones and a slightest bit of red swirl. The model KB is probably the best to go off of. If you have a KB set, you probably understand - or you have never noticed closely enough. In the interest of full disclosure?
