Here's a knife I just picked up from Mike Miller. This one is really a beauty. Desert Ironwood, which I think Mike said he's had for about 20 years, so definitely stable. Contoured handles, fluted stainless guard work and 440V steel. This one is probably a bearcat to sharpen, but once sharp should stay that way roughly "forever".
OAL is about 9 1/4
Blade is about 4 1/2
