The back is still a work in progress, the first one I built the belt loop swiveled and my connections were soldered. On this one I brazed all but one joint the one you can see the wire wrap on is soldered. The frame the lace fastens to is #12 copper wire the belt loop -lathch wire is #6 copper. If I build another one I have some other ideas that I am going to try.
Thanks for your interest. Also the first one I did was a little smaller this one the blade is 2.5" the over all length on the sheath i 5.5".
Thanks
