    Almost 3.5 to the tang, nearly 6.5 to the end of the monkey tail in a 8/8.

    Sorry cannon, that's a 3" cutting edge. My Wm Greaves & Sons is just over 3" too, Sham. I don't have any problem with it because it's a smiler. I'm beginning to think a 5" blade would be just fine as long as it has a nice smile on it.

    Epoxy resin finished figured black walnut. That blade has a longer than usual tang. You have to make extra long scales to fit it, but yes, the cutting edge is only 3 inch.
