Its grrrrrr8!!
The knife is 9 inches overall, with a 4" blade. The single-bevel chisel edge was remarkably sharp, and I quickly ran out of arm-hair. Then I shaved the whorls off my fingerprints
It is a -sharp- knife.
The handle is also a work of functional art. I guess it is obvious that this is a full-tang, with ray-skin under the wrapping. The handle offers a sure non-slip grip, and is comfortable in the hand.
The sheath holds the knife firmly, releases it smoothly. The clip is -strong-; you'll not worry about losing the sheath.
The tolerances are nice and tight at all of the interfaces, and it is obvious Mr Leu takes great pride in his work, and rightly so.
Mr. Leu is making his knives from A-2. There is a lot more info (and great pictures) on his site at http://www.leucustom.com
This was a pleasant and rewarding experience, and I am already discussing another knife with him.
