This is another commissioned piece that will be under the Christmas tree. A lady ordered this for her husband. He said he was looking for a trailing point that had no guard. The rest was up to me. 
He doesn't know she had one custom made for him.
Specs:
Forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched
8 1/4" overall, 3 3/8" of actual cutting edge, .200" thick at the ricasso with nice distal taper forged in
The blade is 1 1/6" tall at it's tallest, from spine to heel of the blade
Bronze collars, file fullered
Blued and coin edged spacer
Stabilized box elder burl handle. This is all natural with no dye. I love the colors on this, especially the red line that wraps around the butt end.
File fullered butt end.
