440C at 58rc, antique ivory paper micarta with black liners and mosaic pins. Blade is 2 inces overall length is 5 and little bit.

Thanks. The sheath does not have a clip or anything, so it really depends upon the pants I happen to be wearing. One pair of jeans I have has the perfect size watch pocket, some cargo pants/shorts I wear have a little pocket inside the right front pocket, or have a cargo pocket that works well, but for regular jeans I find the back pocket works well. You will have to mess around with it depending upon what you are wearing. I should take a pic of the sheath also so you can see what I mean.
 
MadDaddy, That's what I figured,try it around. I sometimes put my knives in my top shirt pocket. I ordered the Handi-Scandi,Desert ironwood,white spacers,w/lanyard hole.The sheath is supposed to have a lip w/grommets,for optional carry,belt loop ,or necker. You can see some of his stuff on his site charlesmayknives.blademakers.com Scandinavian grind,D-2,getting close to delivery time now,real excited.

Nice choice, looks like a winner. I like those Fireants.
 
Thanks,MadDaddy, I like a lot of 'em,and Gene's too, and David Winston,too.Oh man ,what an obsession!! But really,though,these guys do beautiful work,can't wait to see the Handi-Scandi. Every time I order a new custom,I try to get a liitle something different. In this case,the pocket fixed,and scandinavian grind.Thanks for the photo's & replies,Vince
