I won some Kirinite in a giveaway and here is how I used it. I epoxied it to some Blue G-10 liners and put it on some of Aldo's 52100. The blade is 7 & 5/16" and the overall length is 11 & 3/4". I ground it to .010" at the edge and convexed to sharpen. It has a 240x hand rubbed finish. What y'all think.

This looks really clean. Simple and gorgeous.

Liking the bushcrafter I got from you too. I haven't had the time to take it on a trip yet, but I've tested it on a 2x4 and it holds an edge great. The heat treat is working out pretty well.
 
Thanks for the compliment Julian and I'm glad to hear that you're pleased with you bushcrafter.
 
That's pretty! I miss your heat treat service. You sure do a good job with your HT! I bet that one's very slicey.
