Finished this one today. Tapered partial tang (yeah...because I can) of M398. Blade is 3 inches, hollow ground on a 24" radius platen and heat treated to 64 HRC by Peters'. The Blade is secured by 3 copper pins and system 3 epoxy (pins were peened for added strength.) The handle is denim micarta from AKS with a natural canvas micarta core, copper corby bolt and tube. I added some serrations to the top of the handle for indexing. OAL is 7.5 inches. The sheath is a pocket clip leather sheath with some light carving, excellent retention, but releases the blade easily.
