Specs:
OAL: 20" full flat grind, full tang-skeletonized(six 1/2" holes drilled in each tang)
Cutting Edge: 10.5", 11.5" Tip to Hilt, shallow convex edge
Handle: 8.5" Canvas Micarta, left rough for better traction
Thickness: .25"
Steel: 1095, differential HT, 57-58 edge, 53-54 spine
Weight: Approx 1.5lbs w/ out sheath, 2lbs w/ sheath.
Other: The balance turned out much better than I expected making these much more nimble than they look. Balance Point is the choil. Handle is offset to make chopping/batoning much more ergo-friendly. Spines are rounded. Swedge on green handle is deep but unsharpened. Edges on choil and thumbramp were left "sharp"(90*) for ferro-rod use. Pins are 5/8" aluminum.
Sheath: Kydex, Tek-Lock. Tek-Lock(not pictured) can be located almost anywhere on sheath. Large drainage hole at bottom.
