These knives are made from 5/32″ thick O1 tool steel and have an 8.5″ OAL with a weight of about 5 oz. I have heat treated them to 61-62 HRC.
For the handle scales I used G10 and Micarta. Torx screws and stainless steel connectors are used to secure the scales to the tang. The blades are finished with a 120 grit aluminum oxide blast and then coated with matte gray 2400 series GunKote.
