I made this blade back in 98 when i first started making knives and decided it needed a facelift. So i ground the edge off normalized
then clayed it up re quenched it in canola oil. As i was fitting it up i decided to try and make a takedown knife for the first time.
The blade ground from a file is 11 3/8" to the guard and o.a.l. is 17 3/4".
Fittings are cold blued wrought iron with a bronze seppa and the handle is ironwood.
I gained a lot more respect for those that do takedown knives doing this one.
Enough rambling and as usual sorry for the poor photos.
