Years ago, I drew a pattern and wrote up some specs and sent this to someone to cut and grind, and for the life of me I can't remember who it was. It's 5160 and I added Micarta scales, and only recently finished it. I recently came across it in a box in the basement and got a friend to drill the last hole in the handle so I could add the Chicago screws. It has a Scandi grind and a nice heft, but not too heavy. I wish I could remember who made the blade so I could order another few to play with.
