This knife has an 7 5/8 inch cutting edge and about 14 overall, blade was forged from a 4 inch piece of 1 inch round w1 tool steel, it has a noticeable hamon but finished with 600 grit, spine is rounded and polished same as ricasso/choil. Handle is curly maple dyed with mahogany stain with 20 to 30 coats of linseed oil then 5 coats of laquer rubbed in and buffed. Guard is 416 stainless with a brass spacer with black spacer. Knife was made in take down style with a turned pommel nut and locate pins made by me then epoxied after final fit. Guard was pressed on then soldered. I will gladly answer any questions.

well since they took my money, then allowed me permission I would say its ok to post. I dont know how to change it anyway,,figured it would be auto at payment
 
Exquisite. How thick is the blade at the ricasso, and how thin does it taper to near the point?
 
I wrote down wrong measurements,,8 5/8 tip to guard and 7 5/8" cutting edge, thickness before my final finsih is .220 @ricasso, .172 @ top of clip and .031 at tip and the edge was .022 b4 sharpened.

overall length is 13 and 3/8 inch.
 
I think $600.00 is a fair price for this knife, but I need to move it, but if you have a serious counter offer send me a PM and we'll talk.
