This knife follows traditional old school lines, my dad picked up one similar while stationed in Germany in the 1950s.
The steel is 1/8 inch thick CPM S30V with a fuller on both sides and hardened to about 60Rc. The blade is hand sanded finished to 600 grit and is 5.75 inches long, 1 inch wide and the knife has and overall length of 11 inches. This is a hidden though tang design with the tang extending all the way though the handle and attaching to the brass pommel at the end. I keep the tang nice and wide for strength as it passes though the brass guard and only after a couple of inches does it taper down to the pommel.
The handle is elk antler with red dyed stabilized maple and black linen Micarta spacers and comes with pictured brown heavy 8/9 ounce leather sheath.
Price $200 shipped in USA
I prefer PayPal (account is kelley_ward@keysight.com) but accept other forms of payment.
Thanks,
