Hello.

Have a freshly finished knife.
Its total length is 22.5 cm / 8.9 inch. The blade's length is almost 11 cm / 4.4 inch , its width 37 mm / 1.45 inch and its thickness 4 mm / 0.16 inch.
The blade is a san mai, forged of 5160 carbon steel and tape measure blade. 5160 gives the edge!
The handle is made of beech wood and deer antler.
Its sheath is made of thick cow leather.
