I forged this from 3/16 inch 1095 high carbon steel
I did a forced patina on the blade with a quick acid etch but be aware that this, like any patina, will chance with use.
Heat treated to Rc 58-60 with three normalizing and two tempering cycles in digitally controlled temperatures to assure a fine grain structure.
Canvas Micarta handle sanded to 120 grit for grip
Overall length": 14 3/4 inches
Blade: 8 1/2 inches
Weight of the knife is 14 ounces
Oiled leather scabbard with a belt loop for a right hand carry
