This is my PCT bushcraft/hiker knife in 1/8" A2. The blade is 4 1/8" and the handle is 4 1/8" for an overall of 8 1/4". The spine is a sharp 90 deg angle for scraping. It also has a very fine tip for detail work.

The handle is made from black locust. This may be my new favorite handle material. Its nice and dense but has great color and figuring. I lined it with black G10 with 1/8" brass pins and lanyard tube. The balance is right at the index finger to reduce hand fatigue. This is a real user.
Also comes with a sheath made from 6-7 oz veg tanned leather. It was dyed to match the handle. All the joints are hand sewn and sealed. It was sealed with atom wax and treated with Obanauf's. It makes for a nice light weight carry.
Price is SOLD shipped. Shipping is USA only. Paypal only please. First "I'll take it" followed by a message get it. Thanks for looking. Comments welcome.

I dig it. The round handles, pointy blade, large sharpenable bevel, even blade/handle ratio... all highly advantageous features. Your material choices are nice too, A2 is killer and I have two knives with black locust wood and it is a very good material, and looks pretty slick too. Great job all-around!
 
My standard HT for A2 is:
ramp to 1000F -soak 10 min
ramp to 1450F - soak 10 min
ramp to 1800F - soak 30 min
plate quench with compressed air
snap temper to 350F 1hr
two temper cycles @ 500F for 2hr ea
