The cord wrapped handle knife is my first knife I made through stock removal of L6 bandsaw steel. I am working on another 3 and have been real busy. I dont have measurements as my girlfriend is carrying it at glass school. But in one of the other pictures it is compared to my BM 710 and a left handed CRKT Mirage.

Heat treat was done with a Mapp gas torch and quenched in Veggie oil at 135 F and then tempered for (I think) 2 hours at 425 F. Has a convex edge ground on both sides.

Lets see if these pics work.
