so i made this yesterday its 86 layers of 1095-15n20 the blade is 5 1/2" long the over all is 10 1/2" its 1/4" thick ,some guy has a old army ruger 45 LC he want to trade for a knife and he does some reenactments with old indian stuff and wanted to know if i did any knapping he would like that if i had any, no more stone knapping for me its to hard on the hands LOL so i made this just maybe he'll like it he said he does lots of chopping to fix stuff and wanted something strong ,so we'll see tomorrow when he gets home. i do want that pistol. i know its not just exactly like a stone knapped knife .the edge it for chopping not fine cutting its sharp but a 30 der. grind like a big bowie.
