This is one of my large S heepsfoot caping knives, made from .214"thick 5160 spring/tool steel. T he finishing process will have removed some thousandths. I hand forge the taper to the edge in, then finish grind,oil harden, temper to 600F., and polish them. Carbon steel must be cared for and will patina with use, so i now offer (and suggest) Parkerizing free of charge. Parkerizing is a corrosion resistant Zinc Phosphate coating commonly used on military equipment. It doesn't make them pretty, but it does make them practical. It is 9" overall and 4&1/2" tip to wood with 4&1/2" actual sharpened edge. The Katalox scales are a little softer than most of the woods i use, but it was chosen for it's beautiful prismatic figuring. They are polished and finished with an Orange oil/beeswax combo, have hand inlet brass hardware bedded in epoxy, and are removable. ALL my knives are HAND FORGED by ME in AMERICA. I hope you get my drift.
