well 3 and 1/8" blade, 7 and 1/2" overall, .127" thick at the front of the guard. forged from an old leafspring, differentially heat treated, 600 grit hand sanded finish then etched to see temper line. 1/4" thick brass guard, cherry wood handle, brass pins. tested for edge flex, then minimum 100 cuts on one lay of 3/4" hemp rope, cut line in mild steel barstock with the tip and hammer before finishing and handle installation to insure that you get a good knife. light weight sheath of 5-6 oz leather with 12 oz welt, with copper rivets, sized for 1.5" belt.

Hello Joe. I'm impressed by how you make your knives and i'd like to try this one. So i'll take it please as long as PP works. The full $80 will go into your account and my shipping is WA. 99157 even though i live in Canada.
PM coming.
Thank you, roland
 
I just picked up this knife and what a lovely surprise. Truly a Great knife, perfect user that immediately has become my Utility FB, EDC, putting my Foster, Krein and White back into the safe, likely for some time to come.
I like Everything about it but 2 things in particular: the edge is truly hair poppin' sharp along it's entire edge, and, the 'snap in' sheath fit is as good as Burt Foster gets it (which is tops). Turn the sheath upside down and shake with much force as i can muster and the knife doesn't budge, yet it's easy to get in and out of the sheath with your hand.
Thank you Joe. You've "Got It" as far as being a knifemaker goes. Your knives are going to be in demand when the word gets out.
