Rob,
I am going to be honest with you. I like everything about it except for the color of the handle. It looks like a mean knife that is ready to go to work and I just can't associate the white with that. Just my most humble opinion.
From blade tip to guard it is 6 1/4" with an overall length of 11 3/4", a little different style than I normally make.
This knife was made for KT and he supplied the Chad Nichols Damascus and the Walrus from Mark Knapp. The guard is from a wrought iron anchor chain.
Hope you enjoy the view.
Richard,
Great looking knife and beautiful use of the marlin bill.
Now, I have ground swordfish bill before and it stunk worse than anything I have ever ground. Was the marlin the same for you????
I would like to thank DeMo/Dennis for the elk tine he sent me. He told me that it would work well with my style and I have to agree it is perfect. The blade was forged from a 1" round bar of W1 that was 7" long. The guard is from a wrought iron anchor chain. The blade length from tip to guard is 8" and the total length is 13 1/2". The sheath is beaver tail inlaid made for me by my good friend KT.
