It's 15" overall and weighs 25.5 oz.
The blade is 1095 spring steel 9. 15/16" 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 Curly Maple.

The sheath is 10 oz. leather with black steel rivets and a
black steel snap. There are attachment points front and back for
a leg-tie (leg-tie not incl.).
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

Man, nice job on this one and the one before!!!!! Someone is gonna be very happy.
 
These are VERY cool knives. They are classic and have immediately recognizable form, yet no one else is doing them quite like this. The sheaths kick butt, too.

Awesome stuff.
 
Great job on this one, Mike, great design, More like this one please. Could be a signature design for you, not too many makers making this style of knife. If buyer backs out, wants to part with it or trade give me a holler
