http://www.bladesmithsforum.com/index.php?showtopic=27605&hl= I had not realized this blade had been setting around the shop for almost 2 years, waiting for me to notice it. The blade is 4 3/8" long, composed of 1095 (some of Aldo's old batch with the vanadium) and wrought iron joined together in a wolfstooth weld. The handle is masur birch, and the overall length is a hair over 9 inches. The sheath is made from leather, bronze, and brass. Not much else to say about it, other than I'm glad it is done. There are lots of pictures because I couldn't decide which were my favorites..
