Blade made from a big ole Nicholson file that has been differentially heat treated so the cutting edge is hard enough to hold an edge but the spine will still have some flex if it's put in a bind. did a light acid etch to help retard rust and corrosion. Scales are black palm wood with red liners. Brass guard and Corby style bolts.
13 5/8" overall with a 8 inch blade.
