You don't have to excuse my poor photography. My photos stink, but I can't hear the criticism over the roaring awesomeness of this blade:
I put an order in almost a year ago for this puppy after getting the go-ahead to spend my bonus check on a nice knife. Figured to get something far beyond nice instead and already had a knife from Phillip.
Just spent a few moments dancing around the basement like a complete imbecile with this blade lamenting the fact that it's way too late and nothing in the basement needed several hundred chops or even one. The balance is slightly ahead of the handle, but the blade feels very light and able to move by thought alone.
Because I just removed the protective shipping coating tonight, I didn't want to wash the oil off the blade, so the specs aren't exact and the calipers stayed in their case:
Overall length: 15"
Blade length: 10"
Edge length: 9"
Thickness at spine: < 0.25"
Width of blade: 2.5"
Steel: Carpenter R.D.S. L6
Scales: black canvass micarta
Sheath: Leather
The sheath is what I think should be called a "Midwest Comfort." Told Phillip I wanted a stuf instead of a belt loop so I could throw the sheath on and off my belt with ease or tuck inside my waistband if needed. He asked if I wanted it to be a little secure or loose. Don't know why; maybe because this knife was conceived for chopping stationary targets and not hunting large game (a Funnoodle and fallen tree slayer); I said secure was good. So in the mail, I get this W I D E pancake sheath with a Saran-wrapped Patton field knife. Wow! Tonight, I wearing it in my belt and in my britches and Wow! It's very handy.
I want to thank Phillip Patton for letting me be a repeat customer and for this massive and massively awesome blade.
