It's 17" overall and weighs 25 oz.
The blade is 1095 spring steel 12" X 1. 11/16" X 1/4" thick.
The guard, bolster, and pommel sides are 1018 steel WELDED
to the full tang.
The handle is 4. 3/4" long with scales of Black Locust Burl.
There is a 3/8" lanyard hole in the pommel (no lanyard incl.).
The sheath is 10 oz. leather with black steel rivets and
black steel snaps. There are attachment points on the back
for adding leg ties (not incl.) etc.
It's cemented at the spacer and hand stitched
using doubled waxed nylon saddle stitching thread making for an
extremely rugged, rough use sheath.
The rough beveled blade is reheated in the forge to glowing red
and quenched in strained used motor oil. After it's cleaned of slag
it's brought back up in temp. until it can be struck with a file.
I leave the file marks showing. I like a handmade knife to look
handmade.
This is how I harden / tempor my blades. They hold an edge
extremely well.
SOLD incl. S/H in the U.S. (PAYPAL ONLY).
1st. "I'LL TAKE IT" to my email address mcswood@msn.com
takes it.
Thanks for looking,
Mike
