Overall it is 21" long, weighs 33.5 oz., and has a 1095 spring steel blade
that measures 16" X 1. 5/8" X 1/4" (3/8" at the blade catchers).
The side pieces of the guard, bolsters, pommel, and blade catchers
are 1018 steel welded to the full tang.
The scales are Curly Maple.
The sheath is hand made from heavy leathers. It is cemented along the
spacer and hand stitched with (doubled) waxed heavy duty saddle stitching
nylon thread.
I leave the tooling and file marks showing as I prefer a handmade knife to
look handmade. I thinks this also encourages heavy use.
In the photo showing the spine, if you look closely you can see a slight
bend to the right. I like a nice straight blade and certainly didn't intentionally
make this one slightly bent.
The overlooked mistake was so slight that I thought I'd finish
it out and sell it cheap.
Price is SOLD including S/H in the U.S. ( PayPal only)
!st. "I'LL TAKE IT" to mcswood@msn.com gets it.
Thanks for looking,
Mike
