This is a long-overdue wedding present for shipmates (science communicator/educator types) who met on the ol' deep sea research ship. Stainless was requested, so the blade is stock-removal AEB-L. Handle is GLHansen&sons SeaStrata GCarta. Bolster is a piece of the brass cage that held the roller bearings from the old rudder bearing assembly that we replaced in 2013 (knife is not THAT overdue). 7.5" to the bolster.
Pix plus some bolster context. The ship's IMO Registration number is gently etched into the top of the bolster, the one part that actually came from the ship (hard to photograph):
