Here is one I made for a friend of mine. He got to choose every aspect of this one.

3/16'' 1095
Heat treated by Peter's Heat Treat

OAL - 10 1/8''
Blade - 4 3/4''
Handle - 4 15/16''

Blade was hand rubbed to 600 the I did a forced patina
Handle is buffed
Pins - copper

I still have to make him a sheath as soon as he figures out what he wants.

Nice Looking Blade Ernie !!! I am working on a very similar knife at the moment out of 5160. I think I like your handle style better. I will post pics when it is done. It will be my 5th completion and my first with my belt grinder.
