Etched 15n20 carbon fiber hunter

Thank you, I've found that I prefer the way the knives patina over the etched blade vs a hand sanded finish. The etch will actually hold a very thin layer of oil better as well, I know it's not, but it almost looks like it soaks in a little bit.... either way it stays put much better.

Blade is 4"
Handle is 4 3/8"
Thickness at ricasso is .114
Thickness 1/2 way to tip is .095
Thickness behind edge is .012
Tang tapers to .085
Blade height at ricasso is 1.115
Handle thickness at center is .6
Balance is exactly between 1st and 2nd pin.
Acraglass and stainless 1/8" stainless pins.
I left the edge a little thick on this one, I've found that .01ish still makes a great slicer and can handle a little more abuse than the ones I've ground to .005 and less. For hunting it just makes more sense to me.....sometimes I use knives for things your not supposed to use knives for.
