This is going to be a fun knife! About 10" overall, in 12C27 with a great heat treat. Tough, good edge holding for woods use. 12C27 is the stainless steel for guys who love carbon steel.

SANDVIK 12C27 KNIFE STEEL
The well-rounded knife steel
Sandvik 12C27 is Sandvik's most well-rounded knife steel with excellent edge performance allowing razor sharpness, high hardness, exceptional toughness and good corrosion resistance.
Sandvik 12C27 is our main knife steel for hand-held knives, high-end ice skate blades and ice drills. Continuous improvement over a period of 45 years has evolved Sandvik 12C27 into the high performing steel grade it is today. The composition is tighter, the purity level is much higher and the fine carbide microstructure of today is far from how Sandvik 12C27 knife steel of the sixties looked.
With a hardness range of 54-61 HRC, high toughness, scary sharpness and good corrosion resistance, Sandvik 12C27 is the recommended grade for hunting knives, pocket knives, camping knives, high-end chef's knives and tactical knives.
I can't wait to get this knife out in the woods around my house and put it to use. Great all around camp chore knife!
