It is a full tang clip point.
OAL is 9 3/4" and 4 3/4 from point to plung, bolsters are dove tailed and tapered tang and black spacers all around the walnut crotch wood handle.

Thanks for looking and ALL comments Good or bad and your likes and dislikes. Art

I really like the look of this knife. I like the handle shape and how you oriented the grain and figure in the wood just right.
 
Wow.. Missed this one first time 'round.

What's not to like. Beautiful handle scale, pin position nicely balanced, great looking with the liners and dovetailed to the bolsters. Bolsters look flawlessly finished. Tapered tang is spot on, great grinding again immaculately finished with nice flow..

Since you asked for all comments, the only thing that doesn't suit me, but is very much just a personal thing, is the size of the guard protruding from the bolster. You've done it perfectly but the proportions just aren't to my taste.

Truly an excellent knife, Bravo.

Things like that is what I want to hear. Thanks.
 
I made a sheath for it today. And I talked the guy buying it out of black, so it was to be dark brown. But I don't think I could get it any blacker than this . I may have to make another sheath .
And thanks for all the above comments. Art
