I made this knife so it can be taken apart for cleaning or handle repair in the future should it need any. It has an optional lanyard swivel that can be put on when needed. The overall length is 11 1/2" long with a 6 1/4" blade. 6 7/8" from guard to tip. the handle is 4 1/4 with a 3/8" long screwcap on the end. the length without the screwcap is 11 1/8". I was messing around and put a mustard and vinegar patina on it. I also have some short vids of the knife in action slicing newspaper that i can email out to anyone wanting to see.
