This was a fun build. Sharpened length is 3 7/8" (9 1/4" overall) from .190" O1. Handles are a fiberglass similar to G10 held with epoxy and 3/16" pins. Hand stitched leather sheath (welt construction) is ambidextrous and will hold the knife in either orientation. RC59 and shaving sharp.

Like some of my stuff - its not gonna win any beauty contests but it will do or out do what almost any pretty more elaborate knife can do. How is it beveled?

Nice work Charlie-the handle material looks like the same phenolic we use in some of our large electrical panels.

I particularly like the "FTW" engraving... i agree! looks like a comfortable design, and I've always been a fan of the russell belt knife type blade... very useful.
