Hi All,
Here is new style of fighter I am now making for sale. 10.25 inches overall, 5.5 inch blade forward of the front bolster and 1 3/8 inches wide at its widest. Legally harvested Black Ebony scales and red spacers.The handle is 1/2 inch thick at the bolsters and widens to 7/8 inch at the center about 1 inch high in the middle. Six 1/8th inch brass pins complete the bolsters and handle.
Hollow ground on a 10 inch wheel and very sharp. False upper but it is used to carry the meat of the blade to the tip. Sometimes this is called a penetrator blade. Both the blade and the bolsters are made from Aldo's 3/16ths 1084. The blade is hardened and triple tempered to a Rockwell 60. (Cant say enough of the man and his knowledge not to mention his inventory.) Blade is finished to a mirror finish the rest to a very high satin. All in all I am very pleased with how this one came out. Knives made like this with front and back bolsters are kind of old school. They are a lot of work to make.
Price $175.00 shipped to the lower 48.
If you want a Kydex sheath let me know and we will work something out. I think it deserves leather something I dont currently work in. If you work in leather and want to team up get back to me. The last picture shows the next knife up it is next to the almost finished fighter its going to be a 3 inch camp or bush knife with dark brown rosewood scales. Should be ready by Tuesday. If you are interested let me know.
Thanks for looking. Comments always appreciated. Ken
