Decided to Play with something else in the truck kit so I pulled this "beauty" outa the kit. It is 17 3/4 overall with 11 7/8 blade(tip to handle). Steel is 1/4in 5160 with a differential heat treat. I basically made a Japanese style hatchet and added a rounded point for a little more utility. The handle is epoxy coated para cord. The blade is ground with a chisel edge on one side only. It is Hell for stout, though to my arm it is no boat anchor, and is a real cutter! Worked great on some testing I did after an ice storm a couple years back. I went through some 6in alders in about 90 seconds :eek: It does not come with a sheath as the one I used for it went back with the original Japanese hatchet it came with. Price is $150***SOLD PENDING PAYMENT*** shipped in CONUS and I can do Paypal or MO for the payment. Thanks :)
