It's 17. 1/4" overall and weighs 30 oz.
The blade is 1095 spring steel 11. 7/8" X 1. 7/8" and 1/4" thick.
The fittings are 1018 steel WELDED to the full tang.
The handle is 5" long with scales of lightly darkened Curly Maple.
The sheath is 10 oz. leather with black steel rivets.
The belt frog is removable.
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 / temper my blades. They hold an edge
extremely well.
SOLD incl. shipping in the U.S. (PAYPAL or usps (POSTAL) M.O.)
Will ship international w/ additional shipping charges.

Mike
