Do you know anything on the steel? Dimensions, thickness, ...?

.16 thick,full tang.Looks like carbon steel to me.

No way that you can test it to make sure if it is carbon steel?

 

[janesbl]

Not really.Maybe leave it out in the weather,but I wouldn't do that.It could be stainless,I just don't know.I don't talk to the guy that makes them.The handle looks like micarta.He builds the knives tough like a tank.Sorry I wasn't much help.

Put a few drops of vinegar on it and let it set for a day. If it's S/S noithing will happen. If it's Carbon, the spots will turn black. Don't worry you can steel wool them off and if it's carbon it won't matter anyway? I can pretty much bet from looking that it's S/S., I'd recommend doing the vinegar on the top of the spine close to the handle just in case if the thought of it bothers you?
Good luck.
