This is 1095 and stabilized blue dyed box elder (quickly becoming my favorite handle material it is so nice looking). I used 4 brass and one mosaic pin holding the handle together.

The file pattern goes all the way around the butt of the blade and onto the belly. The 2 pictures are of different sides of the knife.

The blade is clay quenched for a really nice hamon.

I forgot to include the ruler in the pics for dimensions, but here they are

Blade - 4 1/4"
OAL - 9"

The sheath is leather treated with beeswax for weatherproofing and stiffness.

Price reduced- $160 shipped. Paypal preferred.

On pic #4 the blade looks short. It was held at an angle to try to capture the hamon.

I have lowered the price. I will be out of town until Thursday of this week. The first to post I'll take it, gets it. I wont be able to contact you until Thursday though.
 
This thread needs a bump, and apparently, the knife needs a price drop.

Now both are done
 
If you will take a USPS money order, then I will take it. I can't in good conscience support anti second amendament organizations.

Thanks

Money order is just fine. I will send you an email with my address. It is yours. Thanks.
 
Matt I just got back from a two week road trip. The knife is here and it is awesome. There is not one thing I would change about it. It is a very welcome addition to my small collection.

Thanks

Bob, you sure are starting out on the top of the order. Ordering customs from makers here that is. Great snag!
