Steel-5160
Thickness-1/4"
Overall length-16"
Cutting edge- 10&1/2" tip to plunge.
Handle-Osage Orange, 4&7/8" from front of scale to butt.

Blade is flat ground, stress relieved @ 1200 deg. twice, brought to 1525 deg. and soaked for 10 min. and quenched in Mcmaster-Carr 11 second quench oil. It was then triple tempered @ 350 degrees for 2 hours each time. The edge was about .035" before the final convex edge was ground.
Thanks in advance for any and all comments.
