OK maybe it's a little short to be a true Borong at 16 7/8 overall but it has the right curves :) Blade is differentially hardened 1/4in 5160 and 10 3/8 long tip to handle. Black G10 slabs .Price for the knife is $275shipped in CONUS. INTL shipping at added cost and risk. No sheath at present but I can make one up if desired for another $35. I can accept Paypal or MO for payment.

Yep :) It has a nice, although plain, hamon between the hardened zone and the soft back. I have been pretty lucky at getting them to show on my 5160.
 
Hi Bill! let me know if you have another larger knives like that! i am very interested. thanks
 
This beast showed up today. Bill's usual outstanding work, but the thing that really grabs me is that this thing is HUGE. I mean, the dimensions don't make it sound that big, and I have other knives that measure out similarly, but the balance on this is so far forward that it's just...well, it's scary is what it is. :o

I'm definitely using a lanyard with this one, and am going to be exercising even greater than usual care when swinging it, because while I'm exceedingly pleased with it I keep having this image of my leg being lopped off...
