OAL 8 inches
Blade 4 inches, 1/8 inch L6.
Convex grind.

Osage orange with flame marks. Brass pins and lanyard tube, all hand peened. Including the lanyard tube.

The handle shape is really amazing. Works fantastic.

I've got a 8.5 inch blade leuku variation that is getting the same handle scales and finish... maybe I should do it up as a set.

yikes, that's super cool!

I love the handle and the blade shape looks really useful. Not too 'humpy'.

Nice job!

I was thinking about it while making it. I've got fairly beefy hands, though not HUGE. (size L gloves with size XL fingers) and I've got enough room to shift grips around a bit.

I was thinking of adding a bit of filework on the spine for the thumb. Not sure.
 
Well your hand in the pic looks about the same size as mine. I have purchased knives with short handles in the past and I just never use them. Your knife looks great!
