This is FULL TANGED.
It's 18. 3/8" overall and weighs 35 oz.
The blade is 1095 spring steel 12. 3/8" X 2. 1/4" X 1/4" thick.
The guard, bolster, and pommel sides are 1018 steel WELDED
to the full tang.
The handle is 5. 3/4" long with scales of Curly Maple
wrapped in goat skin.
There is a 3/8" lanyard hole in the pommel (no lanyard incl.).
The sheath is 10 oz. leather with black steel rivets and
black steel snaps.
It's cemented at the spacer 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 / tempor my blades. They hold an edge
extremely well.
SOLD incl. shipping in the U.S.
PAYPAL ONLY
