Blade is O1 @ HRC 60 I would put it at 1/4 grind maybe a tad more. Shoulderless, with a bit of a tail. The blade has been etched a slate grey that is a near match to the carbon fiber.
I went with a worked nickel silver wedge, and pins, stainless washers, to accent the "bright" hollows on the spine. Also used brass pivot washers.
Scales are "lightening strike" carbon fiber.
EDIT: Blade is 8/8 spine to edge, but due to the geometry, would sharpen as a 7/8
