The one I'm making is .245 thick, just about 1/4 inch, and I made it with a 11 inch blade. I have to weigh it on my postal scale, but it is heavy, and should give me good lamb and mutton chops without having to find cartilage or using the saw.

I put a spring temper thru the ricasso and up the spine a bit, and the edge should go about 52-55 Rockwell hardness.

I'm making it with a sort-of 1 1/3 hand handle, so I can get a tw-hand grip on it for really heavy work, but it still has a good one-hand balance.

I have to decide what to use for handle scales. I have some mountain maple and serviceberry I cut on the ranch here, and also some busted gunstocks. Not sure yet.

What are the Rosary, the Cross or the Crucifix other than tools to help maintain the fortress of our faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
