Jerry,
Steel is 1084, OAL 7 1/2 inches, forged with hammers from a 4 1/2 inch piece of bar stock.  Handle is spalted oak from a friend's wood pile.  Sheath is hand stitched cross draw for left side.

Tippit, I like your work!  Have you ever tried a hawk?

Beautiful, both knife and sheath. From the looks of that handle, you better dig around that woodpile some more...that’s some snazzy wood!

 Greg,
I have a bunch of it...but use it sparingly for special projects.
