Guard; 440C

Pommel; S35VN

OAL; 12 inches

Incredible! Thank you for showing. I hope he or she uses the knife. An "easy to take down" field knife design handle that could be applied to a lot of different knife patterns.

Thanks

R Appleby,

How secure and tight is the pommel to the knife when all put together? If I've got to tap morse code on the side of a submarine underwater with the pommel of the knife, is the knife gonna rattle when I'm done?

Pretty sweet!

Wow, saying that piece is faithful to the original and a beauty is a gross understatement. Well done that man.
