i just made one not too long ago that almost fits your description to a T with a micarta handle and man that sucker is a brute. I call it big girtha. its 20" long 1/4" thick and 3" wide at its widest point. Its made out of 5160 though,but man that thing is a brute. Dang near chopped my leg off underestimating it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
