From tip to tip (scales and blade) it measures over a whopping 7.5" thanks to the tang lol. Really fits the hand nicely when you hold it to shave since you can use all five fingers to grip it. I asked Robert to make 5 pivot holes so I could choose where to mount it. I ended up using the middle one, but it was a good option for me.

Thanks for the great words everyone! It is very encouraging and keeps me wanting to improve!

I saw the holes in the picture, and they look pretty cool, I just assumed it was designed to use the center hole, and the others were decorative...

Also I assumed it was smaller from the pictures, very impressive lines, if that doesn't scare the hairs away nothing will.
