Below is the description from the post I bought if from a while back, currently has been used for day hikes food prep and has a slight patin take a look at updated pix. Guard has some marks from sheath and use. has not been sharpened and still very sharp

This is my second mortised tang. It is really nice and fits up very tight. The
seam between the two layers are almost imperceptible. The blade is 1084 from
Aldo as the core steel, and it has high nickel and low carbon "sandwich" layers.
The handle is natural canvas
micarta. As stated, the seam is almost invisible. I used a granite plate to
flatten the pieces before gluing them up. It is all held together with peened
pins and G-flex epoxy. The guard is stainless with a black linen micarta spacer.
It polished up nicely.
The sheath is 8-9oz hand tooled leather from
Wickett and Craig. The knife slips in snugly and draws easily.
Dimensions
Blade - 4 1/8" tip to guard
OAL - 9"

$$ SPF shipped to lower 48 MO or PP
