3" blade, 7" overall. Reclaimed tool steel, hardened and tempered to straw colour. Razor sharp. Hophornbeam handle with full tang and brass rivets, stabilized where necessary and finished with teak oil. Leather sheath with edge strip and artificial sinew stitching.
Light polishing brought out a faint pre-existing inscription on the blade: "W??? Camp". Keeping tools labelled, I guess? I could remove that, but we're getting into 'finishing hell' territory, and it does give the knife a sense of history, as well as fitting with the entirely intentional overall rustic motif.
If I ever look like I'm going to attempt a wood scale handle again, I beg you, slap me.
