Knife is 1065, 8.2" scales to tip, .180" thick at spine, 1.5" edge to spine, flat ground and very sharp- unused by me save a few slices on meat. Handle is 4.4" long, .50 wide and .80 from edge side to spine side. I really like the blade but the handle is too small for me. That is a regular sized SAK- Hiker I think for comparison. 75.00 delivered CONUS, payment via USPS money order.
Thanks.

Who made the blade?

Any history on where it came from?

It looks to be dif heat treated if that is a hamon line I see on the main edge and top clip?

Hard to tell from the photos on my screen but was it forged?

I would certainly have to rehandle it or have it done. Maybe with a full handle instead of slabes with expose tang edge as I have large hands and that handle is Way small for me. But I really like the blade if it looks and was made how I think.
 
Ok that gives the specs etc.

just an FYI but according to that link th alloy is 1065 not 5160. Here is the copied spec from that link:

Specs-

1065 blade with differential hot/fast oil quench and 2 2hour temper cycles at 375'F, Finished to 600 grit and etched to show hamon
Blade length- 8.25"
Blade width at ricasso- Little over 1.25"
Blade width at swell/raised clip- 1.5"
blade thickness 3/16" flat grind
Over all length- around 12.25"
handle is distressed walnut epoxied and pinned in place, stained with watco and beeswax.
 
Thanks bigeasy- I really should have searched the link before posting the ad instead of relying on what I thought I knew- I might have gotten the name AND the steel right... Sorry.
