This is my second mortised tang. It is really nice and fits up very tight. The seam between the two layers are almost imperceptible. The blade is 1084 from Aldo as the core steel, and it has high nickel and low carbon "sandwich" layers. It is razor sharp with a nice thin grind.
The handle is natural canvas micarta. As stated, the seam is almost invisible. I used a granite plate to flatten the pieces before gluing them up. It is all held together with peened pins and G-flex epoxy. The guard is stainless with a black linen micarta spacer. It polished up nicely.
The sheath is 8-9oz hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. The knife slips in snugly and draws easily.
Dimensions
Blade - 4 1/8" tip to guard
OAL - 9"
Price - $300 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.
