This series of knives features blades forged of 52100 steel with drop points, and dovetailed bolsters for a little dress. They are designed to be solid but not overly heavy in the hand, with fairly thin slicing edges.
HT consists of triple normalization, a single full quench in Parks 50, two temper cycles at two hours apiece, and a thorough soft back draw by torch, edge in water.
The spine is about .210" at ricasso, and the edge is .020" before sharpening.
Length is 8-3/8" overall, with blade length at 4", and maximum blade height at about 1-1/4". Balance is right at the back of the bolsters. Weight without sheath is 6 oz.
This knife features handle scales of 5460 yr. old Ukrainian bog oak, with a full height flat grind, and an extra-tapered tang. Nickel silver bolsters, flared SS thong tube and SS rivets.
Blade is 600 grit hand rubbed, bolsters are mirror, and scales are sanded to 1500 and given a teak oil finish.
This knife includes a RH black sheath, made of 9 oz. veg-tan leather, with my star hex tooling pattern.
Asking price is $300. NOW SOLD.
Price includes shipping to 50 states. I will ship around the world; I just ask that in this case the buyer pay the added shipping costs.
I make knives to the best of my ability and knowledge. I research to find the best materials and methods to use, in order to provide the very best product, in terms of value, durability, performance, and aesthetics. Should you find a knife you have bought from me to be lacking in any of these respects, you may ship it back to me at my expense for a full money-back return.
Should a knife purchased from me fail in materials or workmanship, please ship it back to me at my own expense for your money back in full, or repairs at no cost. Its your choice.
I will sharpen any of my knives at no cost; however I do ask that you pay for shipping costs for this service.
I am always pleased to hear from any of my customers, past, repeat, potential, or otherwise. Please go to my web site, see "Contact Me" and give me a call. If you have any questions regarding these policies, I'd like to hear them.
I no longer accept custom orders due to backlog. Please understand, and check back for new work for sale.
