Steel = CPM-S-35VN with a flat dark earth coating, khaki G-10 Scales and came with a kydex belt sheath that can be modified for molle attachments (hard kydex belt hanger can be removed by turning a couple of screws)
Loa = 8 7/8"
blade = 3 3/4" x 1 7/16" x 3/16"
modified drop point - kind of has design elements of both clip and drop points
well balanced in the hand, even though most of the weight feels like it's in the full tang handle, the handle profile is working style with very flat sides that are grooved to provide grip. there is no taper to the tang in the handle it is 3/16" of steel with 2x 1/8" scales.
The first real fine work will be started tonight or tomorrow when I skin and smooth a few western red cedar saplings to make walking sticks (after they dry - skinning is easier when they're really green as is knocking down the branch knots) .
So far I have to say Jeff did a fine job on the knife, I'm looking forward to his next design.
No pics yet, my camera doesn't play nice with my new computer, and the phone pics are okay but not stellar.
