OT:de Walden trench knife

What are the deminsions of the blade and handle?
Click to expand...

The handle is around 6 inches long, with a 17 inch blade, and a 1/2 inch skull crusher pommel. Total is 24 inches in OAL. The width is 2-3/4 inches at it's widest point. That is a 1 inch grid in the background (although the perspective is angled so it look a little off). The balance point is at the bottom of the recasso right where the edge starts; so this thing can really pick up momentum.

Bill made it from 1/4 inch stock, however since the edge bevel runs all the way through the center the effective thickness forward averages only a bit over 1/8 of an inch. This weighs 2-1/2 lbs, or
3-1/2 lbs with its sheath.
