@John Weight is 850 grams, blade and hilt together. The boxwood is pretty dense, so that has added some weight.
The blade was made to shape, ground with a rotary grinder, the surface was cleaned using a course beltsander and then the blade was finished on a large revolving sandstone which runs in water. Sharpening was done using a scythe bootshaped whetstone. Steel is monosteel medium carbon.
