THIS KNIFE IS DOUBLE EDGED
BOTH EDGES ARE SHARP
It's 15" overall and weighs 24 oz.
The blade is 1095 spring steel 10" X 1.3/4" 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 rivits and a
black steel snap. It's cemented at the spacer and hand stitched
using doubled waxed nylon saddle stitching thread.
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. untill 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
Thanks for looking,
Mike
