rf,
Did you notice if the tag on your knife was marked 1244 or 1244 bark?
thanks

1. Best thickness photo I have...on my steel ruler it looks to be 1/8" thick
2. Stick tang
3. Tang goes through the buttcap. Don't know if the tang is peened then sanded over or if the buttcap was press fit on. Either way it is a nice, neat job.
4. Don't think so, but don't know for sure.
5. The knifebreaker that was banned would refer to it as a micro bevel.
I honestly don't know if it shaved when new. I don't put much stock in OOB sharpness.
It aint your knife till you sharpen it
Oh, and it shaves now
The obligatory beauty shot...
