1080 EDC - Skinner - sale pending

[Remyrw]

I'm asking $55+shipping to move this quickly. Shipping would be priority mail with insurance and delivery confirmation for $12 unless otherwise requested. Paypal preferred but money orders accepted. If you want to make some other arrangement let me know. I'm flexible within reason.

I'm calling it Ghost, for the scales mostly.
1080 steel, 1/8" thick, ht to ~59
Single grind, but sharpened from both sides to be fully compatible with most sharpening systems. There's enough of a flat at the spine for the clamp on systems as well.
Handle is Jade Ghost canvas G10, 1/8" scales with a white vulcanized rubber spacer.
Thong tube is 1/4" 304 stainless
Pin is 3/16" stainless
Blade is 2 5/8" long, just over 1 1/8" tall at the highest.
Overall length is 6.5"
The left side is mostly polished, but not a true mirror finish. The same for the flats on the right. The bevel is primarily vertical scotchbrite finish. It was completed AFTER the logo was put on (and after pics unfortunately) for a slightly faded look.
There is no sheath. I am still a newbie with Kydex and feel this one really goes best with leather anyway. I'm willing to make it a sheath if you really want something, but no promises on quality there. No additional charge. If this hasn't sold in a day or two I'll post pics of whatever I make for it as practice.

I'm tempted to keep this one, it's a great general purpose knife, but if I don't sell them I don't buy more supplies to make new ones.
Looking at the top view pic I just realized it looks like it tapers down quite a bit for the point. While it does slim down the tip is not a needle point, it's got some bulk behind it for strength. While not a pry bar and still just 1/8" steel, it's not a fragile design.

my apologies, I forgot to include external contact information for non paying members.
Mr. Havoc, please contact me at remy@wolf-tac.com or simply send funds to that address at paypal and let me know where you want it sent. I'll get it out as soon as payment is confirmed. Thank you for the quick catch.

Also, let me know if you want a sheath or not. As I said, it will be functional but not up to professional standards.


Thanks for the compliments, Mike. I wasn't sure how I'd like the logo that small on an actual knife but it worked nicely. Ernie Grospitch made my stencils and did a great job.

very nice, how well does the one sided grind cut?

On thinner blades, very very very well. You have to adjust your sharpening angles and they're not going to cut through fruits and such in a perfectly straight line generally, but they are RAZOR sharp. This one went through some box cardboard like a razor blade while testing.
In the past I ground on the left side, since if holding the knife in your right hand the left side is the one you most likely look at. However, that is less than ideal for a right handed user cutting a slice off something, say a piece of meat or fruit. The bevel tries to peel off a slice and if it's on the left it's trying to push the main piece that you are holding. Not the end of the world, but putting the bevel on the right made more sense from that perspective. Keep in mind on a thin knife like this it's not much of an issue either way, but on something with a steeper angle you start to notice it curving more.
