Thank you. The blade is actually quite small, only 4.75" from guard to tip, overall it's just shy of 9". As for the touch mark perhaps I should write up a blue print on the method - it's a home made electro-etch. Perhaps not the safest thing in the world but as I used to work in high voltage I consider my process very tame. I couldn't afford one of the electro-chem etch kits at the time and just used a little science to create my own. In 45 seconds it'll put a relatively deep mark in any ferrous metal. I just gotta keep remembering which way I want to apply my stencil. (I keep flipping it..) -J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
