The OAL is 14 1/2" with a 9 1/4" blade. top clip grind is 6 1/2" and sharp. The guard, file worked spacer, back cap and nut are all matching W pattern mosaics and the handle is a fabulous piece of fossilized walrus ivory, the colors in the ivory are fantastic. I only wish I had more of it. The steel is a Mosaic W pattern forge welded over a 52100 core.

Thanks for lookin,

Bill

That's one of the coolest pieces of steel I've ever seen, Bill. It looks like artists' brushstrokes. A beautiful knife in every respect.:thumbup::thumbup:
 
Bill, I gotta say it's a winner. A great "package", great blade pattern, handle , and, guard. BRAVO!
 
I absolutely love that pattern! :thumbup::thumbup: Brush strokes is a good description.

The rest of the package is great too, but my eyes keep coming back to the blade pattern.
