I just finished up this Hokkaido. The blade is just a hair over 7" long. The blade is CTS-XHP with a 600 grit hand satin finish. The tip is convexed to a zero edge and finished to 5 microns. The scales are black linen micarta with red liners. Rockwell hardness is 61. Overall length is 12.5". This is the second Hokkaido I have ground with this type of swedge and tip. It will be the way thaey come from here on out. I hope you folks like it.
