5 in blade- 9.5 in OAL (holster included) I have loved this knife ever since my buddy howard mccord (gunwriter, poet and fellow knife enthusiast) gave me one a few years back. I think of it as a "common sense knife" in that it is a work horse knife with its 5 inch blade, steel reinforced leather holster, sharpening stone and 1095 steel contruction. It is not a "hey look at me" knife. It is a nearly indestructable all around camp, combat, game cleaning, "get it done" knife. Honestly, it is the sharpest knife I have ever owned. This very knife is used by our very own military american military forces as well as many others around the world. Made in the USA by professionals for professionals.
