Here's one that will be headed to the MKA show in Missoula on Friday. It's my largest blade to date.

All comments and discussion welcome.

Specs:

Hand-forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched
16 1/2" overall, 11 1/4" blade, .235" thick at the ricasso
Bronze fittings and finial nut
Coined guard and spacer collars
Desert Ironwood handle

And a shot of all the guts.
