Ten-and-a quarter clipped point blade by 1-7/8-inch wide, from 1/4-inch 1040 steel stock, 14-7/8-inches overall length, denotes a brightly mirror polished finish, and a sharpened false edge, fancy "S" shaped brass crossguard, large oblong escutcheon embedded in the American walnut grip, brass butt cap. No sheath was ever made for this knife. A photocopy of catalog # 2 comes with the knife. Sold "AS IS." All sales are final.
