As you may recall, I came up with this pattern to utilize the end cuts from wide, thick 5160. Just a handy heavy duty belt knife 
I made this one the other day with green canvas micarta and added an unsharpened false edge. Overall it is 9 9/16in with a 5 1/8in blade tip to handle. While it is made from 1/4in thick 5160, drilling the tang out a bit and full flat grinds bring it down to only 10oz. I'm looking forward to carrying this one for a bit View attachment 811739
