Little bit bigger than most of my EDC's, but sure will fit to the job. This one has a forged in finger rest which gives some added comfort for heavy cutting. The handle slabs are top quality curly maple with lots of figure throughout. Spec's are:
OAL: 8"
Blade: 3 3/8" to ricasso, edge quenched, light etch
Width: 1"
Thickness at ricasso: 1/8" with long distall taper
Sheath: Custom fit right hand carry
Price: $135 includes shipping CONUS. PayPal to ruger315@charter.net, money order or check.

Nice one as usual Rick. Is there a swell hammered into the guard? How about a shot from the top or bottom to show it off better.
 
Gerry you came up with the word "swell" that escaped me when trying to describe the forged area at the first finger. Kinda like your idea of an intregal forged guard, but to a lesser degree. Just a comfort spot. Added a picture to show it better. Thanks for the tip!
