Hi bladeforums!
Got a few up for sale today, with what I think is a bit of an interesting new set of customization options. All of the blades are in 3/16" 1095, differential heat treated. If polished and etched correctly, they will show an attractive, if simple hamon. Here is a quick overview of the knives:
These are presently bare blades, and I am listing the prices as such, in order to cater to the do it your self segment of the market. Should you wish, I would be happy to polish/etch, make sheaths and wrap handles for you for a nominal fee. Of course, all knives will ship sharp, unless otherwise requested. I'll give the a bit of a better polish before, up to a fine scotch brite before they ship, whether or not you order the etch/polish.
A quick price list for the optional services:
Etch/Polish.. $15
Sheath, no pocket clip: $10
Sheath with pocket clip: $15
Handle wrap in paracord (have black, Olive drab, Tan, and Red available): $10
Payment will be via paypal, PM me for details. Buyer incurs real shipping cost, $7.80 via USPS flatrate insured. If you order the full package (Knife + wrap + Sheath) I will ship the knife for free A couple of quick caveats: 1095 is a plain carbon steel, and can rust if not kept oiled. Kydex sheaths can scratch knives if they get dirty. These knives are up for sale in multiple locations, and will be sold first come, first serve.
Here's an example of what they wind up looking like:
#1. 4" drop point hunter. $95. 4" edge, 9 1/8" overall length. 3/16" thick, black cord wrap.
Here are the rest. I've taken the liberty of marking the hamon so that it's visible before the polish. The lines are a little shaky because I was highly caffeinated when I drew them, but the hamons are actually pretty straight.
#2. Tanto kiridashi. $40. 2 3/4" blade length tanto kiridashi. 6 3/4" overall length. Hollow ground main bevel, flat ground in the front. 3/16" thick.
#3. 3" regular hunter. $55. 3" edge, 7 3/4" overall length. Straight point hunter?
#4. 3" wharncliff $55. 3 5/16" blade, 8" overall length. Hollow ground bevel, 3/16" thick 1095.
#5 3" drop point hunter. $SOLD 3 7/16" blade, 7 15/16" over all length. Drop point hunter in 3/16" 1095.
#6 3" wharncliff. $SOLD. 3 3/8" blade, 7 7/8" Overall length. Modified wharncliff style blade, 3/16" thick. Please excuse the shaky line that denotes the hamon on this blade.. I was highly caffeinated and unsupported when I drew it. It's not that wavy. Edge is very thin, .05 before heat treat.
#7 3" hybrid tanto. $55. 3 3/4" edge, 7 7/8" overall length tanto. Hollow ground primary bevel, flat ground up front, 3/16" thick 1095.
#8 Reverse tanto. $SOLD. 3 3/8" blade, 8 3/8" overall. Flat ground primary and front bevel, out of 3/16" 1095.
#9 Hollow ground reverse tanto. $55. 3 1/4" blade, 8 1/8" overall. Hollow ground primary and front bevel, out of 3/16" 1095.
#10 4" regular hunter. $65. 4" blade, 9 1/4" overall. Full flat grind.
Edit to add in a few left from the last run. These are in 5160, and are heavier stock and include a sheath with pocket clip:
#11 Modified Tanto. $95 Blade is .26" thick, 4 1/8" long, handle is 4". Tan/FDE wrap.
#12 Modified Tanto. $95 Blade is .26" thick, 4 1/8" long, handle is 4". Black wrap.
#13 Modified tanto. $105 Blade is .26" thick and 4 1/4" long, handle is 4". .10" G10 scales.
#14 5" Drop point. $110 Medium drop point with swedge. Blade is .32" thick and 5" long, handle is 4 3/4". Olive drab cord wrap.
Thanks for looking.
