7" carbon steel blade, 12" OAL. Differentially tempered w/ visible hamon - hard edge, soft back. Blackened steel fittings, genuine rayskin handle. Sheath is also blackened steel, with an unobtrusive push-button locking mechanism, allowing for a smooth, quiet draw. Backside of sheath has a belt clip.
Knife, sheath and clip are held together by Allen head screws, allowing full take-down disassembly for cleaning, maintenance, or modification if desired.
This knife reminds me of a Japanese-influenced bowie I saw once made by custom maker Don Fogg. Of course I could never afford that piece, but this knife is probably the closest I'll ever come to owning something like that!
The blued blade has some scuffing from going in and out of the sheath.
Thanks for looking! email me
