The blade was designed by me and cut from a piece of stainless flat stock. Handles are bocote. And the pins are actually 1/4" stainless bolts cut and polished. Total lenght is 7 1/2"x 1 1/2" wide. I'll get some build pics up. The entire knife, short of growing the tree and forging the steel was made by me cost free from materials that were just asking to be crafted into a knife.
