It's 14. 15/16" overall and weighs 22 oz.
The blade is 1095 spring steel 9. 7/8" X 1. 1/4" X 1/4" thick (3/8" at the catchers).
The guard, bolster, and pommel sides are 1018 steel WELDED
to the full tang.

The handle is 4. 3/4" long with scales of Curly Maple.

The sheath is 10 oz. leather with black steel rivets and a
black steel snap. There's a attachment point on the back for
a leg-tie (leg-tie not incl.).
It's cemented at the spacer and hand stitched
using doubled waxed nylon saddle stitching thread making for an
extremely rugged, rough use sheath.

The rough beveled blade is reheated in the forge to glowing red
and quenched in strained used motor oil. After it's cleaned of slag
it's brought back up in temp. until it can be struck with a file.
I leave the file marks showing. I like a handmade knife to look
handmade.
This is how I harden / tempor my blades. They hold an edge
extremely well.

(SOLD) incl. shipping in the U.S.
Paypal or M.O.
1st. "I'LL TAKE IT" to my email mcswood@msn.com takes it.

Thanks for looking,
Mike

That is just awesome. So much more knife compared to the $300 "toy" in my pocket right now. I love your sheaths too, do you make those as well?
 
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, I do make my own sheathes.
I probably overbuild them but I like a good rugged sheath.
