11 inch Gladious fighter w Leopard wood scales

[Kenhills]

Hi All,

Just finished this one. It?s a fighter that dates back to Roman times the blade shape is called a Gladious more recently Gerber has used something like it in their Mark 2 line of knives.

The Specifics:
Steel- Aldo?s .125 inch 1084 to a Rockwell of 59-60.
Length- 11 inches
Widest part of the blade- 1 inch
Length of the blade from the tip to the top of the scale- 6 5/8 inches
Cutting edge- 5.25 inches
Scales- Leopard Wood
Scale length is 3.25 inches
Rear tip (pommel) to the bottom of the scale is- 1 and 1/8 inch
The ergonomics of this knife are very nice. The balance point is about ? inch in front of the guard. Feels very nice in the hand. The grind is slightly convex and sharp, same as the Gerber.
Price shipped to the lower 48 is $115.00 add another $15 for a Kydex belt sheath.


















Thanks for looking and comments are always welcome.
