I like it!  But, what about dimensions?

Very appealing, both knife and sheath.

Thank you for sharing.

Dimensions are: 7.0" blade, 3/16" thick at tang, and tapers to point. 12.5" overall. Nice sharp limber knife.. Thanks men!

That's a nice job there Bart. I believe this is the first knife of yours that I have seen. I like the over all design especially the way you have the handle attached. Are you planning on making these for sale ?
