I hand forged this unplugged out of 5160 from the last of my '57 Dodge leaf spring stash.
It measures 11 3/4 inches long overall. The blade is 6 3/4 inches long from shoulders to tip and it's a little under 2 inches wide at the widest spot across. I stamped my name on the tang because I was feeling Japanesy. I thought for a long time on how to finish the tang/ricasso/shoulders area. I decided to file them square with some small dog choils to the blade's edge. It's a simple blade but its big and took me an entire day of tinkering. I heat treated it too but Im not sure I should of. I guess it all depends on what type of spear a person wants. If you were going to throw this I fear it would chip or possibly break the tip if it hit a rock.
