I just finished this little knife. It has a 4-3/8 inch blade and an OAL of 9 inches. Pretty sturdy in thickness but not excessive. The blade has forged sides, bottom. and spine. The clip is just short of being sharp. The Stag is extended by some aged brown Micarta spacers. The guard and butt cap are Silicon Bronze.

That's a beauty. The arrowhead is a really nice touch.

Did you sharpen the swedge like a scandi or is it a false edge?

Thank you guys.

Nicholas, it's not sharp but thin enough to help it penetrate.

That's another beauty Lin. I really like the micarta. It gives it that classic look of stacked leather without all the drawbacks of leather. Tough, stable, and virtually maintenance free handle. One of these days I will come up with a great idea before someone else.
