Blade: 5 5/16"

Handle: 4 3/4"

Thickness Right In Front Of Plunge Line: .169"
Thickness in Ricasso: .188"

Steel: D2

Heat Treat: Paul Bos for 61 RC

Handle: Black paper micarta, stabilized spalted maple stabilized by K & G, G/Flex epoxy, brass fixtures. The front fastener on the handle is a pin, the other two fasteners are corbys.

The little black holes are worm holes that are (imperfectly) filled with superglue.

There are some minor cosmetic issues: the plunge lines are not perfect and there is a spot of haziness in the finish, right at the front of that brass pin, on the right-hand side of the handle. I think you can see it in the pictures. I tried to buff it out, but it wouldn't buff out.

Also, according to feedback I have gotten, the front part of handle is kind of thin for pushing through hard material.

White spots on the bevel are lint.

I made a heftier dangle strap out of 9/10 oz leather:

The bevels came out really nice on this one:

#2 is SOLD:

Blade: 4 1/4"
Handle: 4 1/4"
Thickness: ~.102" in ricasso, .087 just in front of plunge line.
Heat Treat: Paul Bos for 61 RC
Handle Materials: stripey maple stabilized by K & G, G/Flex epoxy, nickelsilver pins.

The sheath is veg tan Hermann Oak leather and artificial sinew and soaked twice with Sno Seal.

All hand made. It is not perfect, so please note: There is a slight grinding error on the left hand bevel. Underspines are not as pretty as top spines. There is a scratch on the right-side bevel, which you can see in the picture.

Feels great in hand, light and easy to take along.
