Well, Fikeslike in that it will be as I heard Mr. Fikes say a number of years ago "a sharp bar of steel with a string handle'" In this case, it is made from Don Hanson W2, so it will likely be "a sharp bar of steel with a string handle and squiggly lines on the bevels. In this instance, it has two bevels as opposed to the single sided grind. As it sits now, the blade is 9 inches long and the OAL is like 14 1/8. The spine is a healthy 1/4" at the choil and tapers a little bit to the butt and tip. The blade is about 1.6 wide. Kind of a medium camp knife unless I get goofy and do a clip point and make it a medium large fighter. The handle has some fine tuning left to do.
