It is big brute de forge chopper / fighter forged from 1095 bar.
Differential heat treated with clay, but with longer etch in lemon acid to perform aged look.
There is subtle, barely visible hamon line because of darker etch.
It has nice distal taper and great balance.
Bevels are hand polished with 1500 grit and flats are left "brute de forge". Guard is forged and polished with visible hammer marks, but feels smooth in the hand.
Handle is deer antler with black G10 liners and hammered brass pins. Antler is treated with Potassium permanganate for aged, rustic look.
Sheath is two tone leather with antler crown button. Crown is held with hammered brass pins, and it has leather strap detail.
Sheath retention is great. Knife fits securely, and it can't move out.
Some w.i.p. photos can be seen here:

Blade length - 11,8"
