Now this is a knife has a tool steel blade 9 " long 2 3/4" wide 1/2" thick all the way to the butt, handle and bolster is 6 1/2" long the bolster is 1 1/4" wide, guard is 1 1/4" wide 4" long, the guard and back bolster are welded on, weight is 4 lb. I did not make this monster, a friend of mine bought it at a garage sale, did not have any scales on it, put some elk horn scales on it, she is what she is, defiantly a lot of knife.
