Post by: LRB on July 15, 2011, 04:30:25 PM
Just finished this one. 6" blade of 01 steel, Grip is turned cocobolo, and is 4" to the top of the threaded brass ball retainer nut. brass ferrule with file decorated iron guard and domed iron butt cap which is threaded to the through tang, as is the retainer nut. I still have to make a sheath for it. Hope you enjoy a look.
