XD It's a nice toy for you to play with xD It's not long at all though, and looks a little fragile. I'm not good with short blades at all. But I do have a little tanto xD
believe me it isn't fragile. It weight 24 lbs. It's made out of a truck leaf spring (i.e. it's extremely hard steel). The butt plate is riveted on (as you can see, making the entire solid. the handle is hand carved out of oak and has brass rivets. Believe me, it's sharp, and heavy.
