Just finished this one up yesterday A.M. I'll sharpen it after I make the sheath. Comments are appreciated, and thanks very much for looking!
Overall length:13 3/8" - fits the hand very nicely, and balances about an inch in front of the guard.
Blade:8 1/4", forged 5160, differentially hardened, finished to 600 grit.
Handle: mortise tang - Cocobolo - sanded to 800grit and polished with 1500 grit (the photos truly don't do this wood proper justice. this stuff is beautiful!), black and red fiber spacers, and polished elk antler. Brass guard and pins.
