The overall length is 14. 7/8 " and it weighs 23.5 oz.
The blade is 1095 spring steel 9. 1/2" X 1. 3/4" X 1/4" thick.
The handle is 4. 3/4" long with scales of Curly Maple.
The guard, bolster, and pommel sides are 1018 steel
WELED to the full tang.
The heavy leather sheath has black steel rivets and a black
steel snap.
It's cemented at the spacer and hand stitched with doubled
waxed nylon saddle stitching thread.
The blade is quenched in strained, used motor oil and brought
back up in temp. till it can be filed. I leave the file marks showing.
I like a handmade knife to look handmade.
This is how I temper my blades. They hold an edge extremely well.
This Handmade, Custom, Fighting Bowie / Combat Knife just moved
to auction.
Thanks for looking,
Mike
