I made this for my dad for his birthday.¬¨‚ĆIts 9″ overall with a 4 5/8″ flatground blade forged from 1084 steel and differentially heat treated. The handle is Sambar stag and afzelia burl wood with nickel guard and buttplate. The knife came with a nice handtooled leather sheath. I hope my kids were taking notes on what makes a dad happy on his birthday!
