What we have here is a beautiful yet fully usable big fighter.
11" cutting edge, almost 12" blade total. 16.5" overall knife lenght.
The blade is a O1 sandwich between layers of 1010 and 1070, so you get a very hard core and edge, but sourrounded with more elastic steel. The darker part of the blade is the O1 showing from inside of the knife, darkened more than the other steels on the acid due to the carbon component on it. (you can see it also on the spine)
The handle is from a a multilayer micarta style material I made with two different kinds of wood, Caoba (Mahogany) and Guatambu (Pau Marfim) and even if it's already very thick, I made it thicker on the ends for a more secure grip.
Sheath is thick dark brown leather cow, with color/texture details on the front and handstitched. It has a loop for a belt up to 2.5" wide.
