Forged from W2 round bar (1-1/2" x 4"), Overall 17", blade is 11-3/4" L x 2-1/4" W x 3/8" thick at ricasso. Convex edge, sharp cplip, "working" polish to show hamon. Handle is Ziricote, which ive only used a few times, it sure works nicely.

Another fine knife Matt. You never disappoint. I think you have those big knives "down pat"!

Is the guard stainless, Matt?

hi Karl, no on this one the guard is mild steel, was going to blue it but decided to leave in the white for contrast. Ive done a few in the white, and was worried about staining etc. but it doesnt seem to be a big problem with minimal maintanance.
