It's 13. 5/16" overall and weighs 20.5 oz.
The blade is 1095 spring steel 7. 5/16" X 1. 7/16" and 1/4" thick.
Modest file work adorns the spine.
The fittings are 1018 steel WELDED to the full tang.
1st. 2 photos show it sharpened (didn't want to handle it much after making it razor sharp).
The handle is 6" long with scales of light (natural) Curly Maple. There's 4. 3/4" between
the guard and curve of the pommel.
The sheath is 10 oz. leather with black steel rivets and a
black steel snap.
It's cemented at the spacers and hand stitched
using doubled waxed nylon saddle stitching thread making for an
extremely rugged, rough use sheath.
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. until 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 / temper my blades. They hold an edge
extremely well.
SOLD incl. shipping in the U.S. (PAYPAL or usps (POSTAL) M.O.)
Will ship international w/ additional shipping charges.
1st. "I'LL TAKE IT" to my email address mcswoodknives@gmail.com
takes it.
Emails must have a subject related to the post or they won't be opened.
Thanks for looking,
Mike
