I just got this one from my friend Evan of esnyx customs... a BIG pruner-style swayback, with a straight edge instead of the traditional hawkbill, and awesome antiqued stag hafted to perfection. It measures in at 5" closed and just under 9" open!

The stag is hafted to the natural curves of the antler as opposed to being even on both sides, but it feels great in forward or reverse grip in either hand. The buttcap is also slightly offset.

Thanks, y'all! To say I'm excited about it would be an understatement!
I forgot to mention, it weighs in at 7.7 ounces. Not a lightweight knife!

The blade steel is Hitachi blue #2 high carbon steel, hardened to something like 63 HRC. Bolsters, liners, and buttcap are all steel.

It's 1/8" Gary.
I'll make sure to bring it by to show off if you make it up to Evan's shop!
