Hi all I have about 10 hours into this and the knife is a bit over 10 inches long. 10.25 inches overall, 5.5 inch blade in front of the front bolster. Legally harvested Black Ebony scales and red spacers. Hollow ground on a 10 inch wheel and very sharp. False upper but it is used to carry the meat of the blade to the tip. Made from Aldo's 3/16ths 1084 hardened and tiple tempered to a Rockwell 60. (Cant say enough of the man and his knowledge not to mention his inventory.)Blade is finished to a mirror finish the rest to a very high satin. All in all I am very pleased with how this one came out. Never tried making anything like this before with the steel bolsters front and back. It is a lot of work like making 3 knives at once. Would really like some input on this one so please chime in positive or negative is fine. Never trained with anyone so I am making this up as I go. Sort of feel like I reached some sort of new plateau things are comng together. Ken
