It measures 7-8 inches overall, forged from Damascus steel with a swirling random pattern running the length of the blade. This is a full-tang Bowie, so the steel runs straight through the handle for strength under pressure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJimping cuts into the spine near the bolster, giving your thumb a grip point during detail cuts or heavy pressure work. It's a small feature, but it changes how the knife handles when you're carving, batoning, or working close to the tip.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe bolster carries the same Damascus pattern as the blade, tying the whole knife together visually instead of using a plain metal fitting. Below it, the handle is built from solid black Micarta, a material chosen for its grip and resistance to moisture. A brass spacer ring with detailed rivets breaks up the black handle sections, adding a finished, layered look.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis knife ships with a black leather sheath.
