Ray, I was focused on getting the pictures I forgot the details, sorry.
The knife was made by Mike Craddock from NC.
The blade is 6 5/8" and made of three layers of steel, creating very different patterns on either side, will try to take some pictures myself tomorrow. The handle is alittle over 4 1/2", fits my hand amazingly well.
Balance point is right under the ricasso.
The sheath maker, stamped on the back is L. Parsons, Mustang OK. And is also very well done, balanced, stitches smooth and even, finished everywhere, extremely professional. I've never dealt with Mr. Parsons, Mike does, but I do like his work.
Mr. Craddock is a pleasure to deal with, communications with what I wanted was easy and pleasant,
he is responsive with emails and returning calls, and I really like his work.
Perhaps Mike will chime in and add more details.

Nice package you have there. The sheath appears to be the work of Larry Parsons from Oklahoma. Looks like his embellishment and inlay style.

Dozier, You have become a big time collector. You did good on this knife and sheath.
 
A beautifully made knife and sheath which would be a pleasure to own!!
Dozier you have a good eye.
 
Took this one myself. Nikon Coolpix, know what I want but don't how to get it. Yet. Shall plug on.
This is the right side of the blade, hope you can really see the (don't know proper word) "topography" on the blade.

Art, there is another NC maker that I'm trying to get another knife from, the guy is so busy though it's tough, he is retired and is busier now then when he had a real job. Sound familiar?
Big Rick, thanks, appreciate the positive words, and it is a pleasure to have this one.
