Here is a rough-forged user I made from 0.095 15n20. 12" OAL, 6.5" blade. The blade is 2 1/4" at it's widest. This was stock removed but placed into the forge for hammer texturing. It was designed to be a low profile, light-weight camp knife that would fit easily into a pack and disappear on your hip. Even with the thin blade (0.095 is just less than 1/8") it makes a great chopper due to the wide blade. Here is a video I put on Youtube when I was testing this steel.. and this is also the same blade in the video (forgive my video skills!).

As you can see in the video, this 15n20 steel holds an awesome edge.
The grind is convex, but due to the thin spine, this thing can get scary sharp.
The wood is stabilized redwood lace burl with matte finish. Peened copper rivets and peened copper lanyard tube make for strong mechanical bond of the handle. Bombproof.
Whitetail antler lanyard bead.
The sheath was made by Lance Parrish at Southpaw Leatherworks and is beautiful with it's 'salt marsh' inspired tooling.
I'm asking $225 for the package. Paypal or check. And my usual money back guarantee if not happy after one week (must be in same condition that you received it).
I can provide more pictures upon request.
Thanks for looking!
