Up for sale is a big camp knife or chopper. It was hand forged from Aldo's 1095 flat stock. The spine measures approximately 3/16 with a blade width of just under 2 inches. The sheath was made from 9-10 ounce vegetable tanned leather. It was made to allow the knife to be drawn and replaced vertically or the blade can be lifted about 1/3 it's length and removed or replaced through the front. It is securely held in the sheath by two leather straps. The handle strap also makes the sheath a rigid vertical sheath when secured but when it is released the sheath is free to rotate forward, backward, or out to the side for ease of carry when sitting or riding. Here are the specs on the blade:
Steel- 1095fg x 3/16
AOL- just shy of 18 inches
HT- In house- blade was normalized 3 times before quenching. Tempered for two 2 hour cycles
