Steel: D5, forged from round stock. If you're not familiar with D5, it's very similar to D2. I haven't done any side by side comparison tests, but judging from the chemistry, I would predict that D5 would be slightly less wear resistant, slightly more corrosion resistant, and probably a little tougher. It's easier to work with, and takes a better polish. It doesn't have the orange peel problem that D2 has.
Hardness: 59 RC
Blade length: 8-1/4"
Total length: 13-1/4"
Blade thickness: about 1/4" Tapered tang, of course.
Handle material: green canvas micarta
Price: $350 + $12 shipping
I can take paypal, check, or MO. Please send correspondence and paypal to phillip@pattonblades.com Please confirm that the knife is still available before sending payment.
Comes with leather sheath, which I'll be making over the weekend.
Thanks for looking!
