That is very nice! I think you meant the overall length was 13" not the blade right? I'm curious how well the cerakote holds up after a lot of chopping/batoning, have you tested that?
This one is SOLD thanks for looking

Walk Softly...and Carry a BIG Knife!
Fabulous design Mike, and your finish looks great!! It certainly looks comfortable!!
This looks like a real user and a beauty! Who did the HT and what is the hardness?
Could you comment on the approx. edge thickness before sharpening Mike?
Fishface5 yes the overall length is 13 5/8" thanks I clarified my wording. On the Cerakote, I have been using it since December last year and have a few blades out there in use and last I seen of them the finish was holding up very well. Here is a link to some lab testing http://www.roguetacticalcoatings.com...kote-lab-tests
Thanks snwbrdr202, Idlewild and Gunsnknives
awestib, preheat treat I grind these to .020" at the cutting edge and with post heat treat clean up it maybe reduced another .005" at the edge. So taking a guess here I would say the very edge was around .015" since I do not measure this after I scribe my .020" grind lines. Hope that answers your question if not please ask again.

Thanks Mike!
Your welcome awestib
Mike,
I am very pleased. The knife showed up in today's mail. Fast shipping, the blade is as described. The fit and finish are absolutely first rate. It's sharp, and cuts like a bandit. What is not to love?
