Weight: 2lb.6-1/2 ounces
Blade Length: 23-1/2 inches
COG: 3-3/8 inches from guard

The photos are, naturally, pretty bad.

Interesting piece, Michael .... bet it will be quite the little hacker !
How comfortable is that grip style, given the pointed swell in its middle ?
Thanks for the preview ! Mac

Aha. I guess that is why you were not individually listed at a table or booth!

I have a moderately large hand, so it doesn't present problems for me- nopr did my wife express and difficulty- we'll have to wait and see how other people like it before we know for sure. Thanks Tom!

Correct- Bladeart.com is my internet distributer, and since they have a large booth I just 'piggy-back' with them. Great folks, we always have a good time!
