This is the first integral I've made in a very long time.... and by far the biggest and thinnest I've ever attempted. Forged from a 3/4" round of 5160, with an African blackwood handle and a sterling silver buttcap. The cutting edge is approximately 10 1/4" long, and the spine is 1/16" thick. The scabbard is hickory covered with rayskin.
This is one of those I wanted to keep around for a few weeks to test out in the kitchen...
