This is my first knife Im placing here on the forums to be sold. The metal is 1095, stainless guard, stabilized spaulted maple, peened stainless pin. Overall length is 8 3/4", blade width is 1 3/8", from the top of the guard to the end of the blade is 4 1/4". Handle is mortised tang,The stabilized wood was not as hard as I like it so I treated it with CA super glue 3 times and polished it off. Blade went through 3 normalizing cycles, 1600, 1500, 1450, then quenched in Houghton type K at 1450 degrees. Blade tempered at 450 for 1 hour and 30mins. I will make a sheath for it after it is bought for either a lefty of righty. I have used this knife for the last week and it has held up to my standards and is sharp and I mean damn sharp. Price is 100.00, feel free to ask me any questions, knife carrys a full gurantee for life or as long as I live.Check or money order, thanks and Godbless,Charlie Edmondson
