That is a wicked blade. I wish we weren't limited to 3.5" here.

on the blade measurement I took in the sweep of the blade . From the front of the finger groove the handle measures a tad over 4 1/4 " As the crow fly's blade is 4 3/4 from tip to bolster . From front of bolster to end of handle is 4 3/4 . Hope these measurements explain the total size better . Sorry for the confusion .

Try shooting it at a side angle with the blade lying flat on a Dark non rflective surface, that will help the Ivory standout

Jack, your getting exotic. That's a cool looking knife. I like that copper. Good choice of materials.

Hi Mike , I am pleased with the way the hammer finish came out on the copper and when I cut up the Walrus tusk and saw the Dentine , well it just looked like they belonged together . The blade I had done yrs. ago and was sitting around waiting for the picture to form in my head for a finish .

I need to get better pics .
