I'm really happy to have had Joe Flowers ask me to start making the Terassaur! Its a really well thought out Bushcraft knife, and Joe is a real knife user.The specs on the knife are: 9" OAL, with a 4 1/4" blade.

The one for sale today is wearing blue and green g-10 and has ghost Jade g-10 pins and bullseye filler. The handle on this one is ~3/4" thick at the swell. $205 shipped with a JRE bushcrafting sheath with a firesteel loop.

You make some great looking knives and I've also read some stellar reviews of your blades. :thumbup:

What is the steel type and thickness on this one?

I've noticed that you consistently place your lanyard loops in a good distance from the tail end of the handle and am curious what your reason for doing that is?
 
The steel is 01 and its 1/8" thick. I place the lanyard tube a bit farther from the end out of habbit. Wood handles IMHO need some more space there so they don't chip out.
 
That makes a lot of sense, Andy. You always make such comfortable looking handles. Is 3/4" at the swell about average for your handle widths?
 
Yes. I'd say so. Its what feels good in my average (large glove) sized hands. I make em as fat or slim as a customer needs, but thats my average.
