This bad boy has an 11 3/4" low layer ladder damascus blade byChad Nichols, (forged to shape by me) and is 17"OAL. Handle is elk stag w/patterned copper band and rawhide wraps. Fittings are deep etched wrought iron.The sheath is my first attempt at a mexican loop, and is veg-tan covered in rawhide, and features a wrought iron concho, copper tacks, deerskin fringe, tin cones, horsehair, and antique trade beads. Took 12+ hours on the sheath alone:what!:!
