This knife is stunning! It has a larger handle than my normal knives to give you more control over what you're cutting. It has an oak handle that I stained with an "Early American" color and then added a coat of polyurethane. The pommel and guard I did not make, but they are made from stainless steel. The blade has a hidden tang in the handle and is made from a single piece of 1095 steel. All parts were epoxied together. The overall length of the knife is 11 & 1/2 inches. The blade is 5" long and 1 & 1/2" wide. The handle is 6 & 1/2" long and 1 7 1/8" wide. As with all my knives, it will come sharpened and exactly as pictured. Thank you for looking!
