My son and I roughed this blade out over the weekend and I decided to I wanted to actually FINISH something tonite.

1095 acid etched
2" blade, 4" overall

gonna make a kydex necker sheath for it.

I have pretty large hands and it's comfortable for me. Granted, with something this thin, extended use is not gonna be very fun...
 
"dramatic and sharp-edgy" works for me. :)

as for practical uses, I have only used it to cut some paracord (for the lanyard) and to shave a 2"x2" spot of hair off my leg. I don't really know why, but I was compelled to do so. Rough sharpened on a 220 belt, then freehand-final-sharpening on stones.
 
Ahh, now I see. The edges are softened enough for comfortable short term use. But it is what it is, a handle-less, 2 finger blade. If you need to cut more than 1 thing at a time, shoulda reached for a more appropriate blade.
 
I like the cord handle threading! That's pretty neat thinking. Decorative, but gives a little bit of width and grippiness. I like it.
 
I have some 1/8" blaze orange peel-n-ply that could make some neat scales
 
I finished the sheath yesterday fire this one...
