The blade has a blood groove and is 4 7/8" long with the knife being 9" long overall. The blade has been lightly sharpened by someone who knew what they were doing and it remains sharp.

The knife has a double-curved brass guard as well as the customary brass retaining nut in the aluminum pommel. The one-piece handle is made of quality stag, is very good-looking and fits the hand well. The leather sheath has all its rivets and stitching with the exception of 4 missing stitches.
