Specs are 12" overall, 6" cutting edge, 1/4" ricasso, 5 3/4" handle. 1/4" thick, 2" at the widest part on the blade.
March will be here before you know it Brett. Can't believe it's August already.

These chop very well. Just about as good as a hatchet. It has to do with it having a wide blade. It chops as good or better then an 8" Tusker.

Yes, due to the weight and width of the blade. Now a 1/4" thick by 1 3/4" wide Big BoarTusker will chop just as well as these.

These things are a bear to profile. It's takes three 36 grit belts to do one.

Thanks. It's a relief when I finish one. They are time consuming.

Great looking knife!
Appears to be perfect for use in the back country! The size would allow it to preform double duty: small chores around camp and some chopping detail, as need. When an ax is not available...
WST would be a great asset to someones kit.
The handle profile looks great and I love the overall dimensions.

And I bet you're not using a 1X30.
I hate grinding steel. I'd probably pick up a plasma cutter before I hogged off all that steel on a belt sander. But I'm impatient...so.
