I started by cutting the handle down to 9 1/2 inches (Still able to use a 2 hand hold)
Stripped the blade of the black paint, put a hot vinegar patina on the blade.
Re-profiled the handle. Made the sheath out of 1 1/4 PVC.
Dura-coated handle and sheath with Dark Earth.
Wrapped handle with paracord.
Original mentions a 19 inch blade, mine is 24 inches
