Here is one of my "Heavy Parers" in Cocobolo!! I took my large paring knife pattern, made it out of 3/32" thick 1095 instead of 1/16", ground it slightly thicker at the edge, and included a sheath. these work great as a small game/ bird knife, or edc/utility knife!!
OAL- 7 1/2"
blade- 3 3/2" long, .092" thick at the spine, .035" measured 1/4" back from the edge, and .008" at the shoulder of the edge, 3/4" wide
steel- High Performance 1095, with in-house differential heat treatment which includes triple normalize, triple anneal, triple edge quench, and triple draw, for a high performance blade, that holds a great edge, and yet is easy to sharpen!
grind- a full flat grind, sharpened on a 325 DMT stone with micro bevels, to an agressive razor edge
finish- machine a45 finish under a blue scotchbrite belt finish. although the blade has not been etched, in the right light you can see the hardening line pretty plainly
handle- a nice piece of Cocobolo, with a 220 grit finish for a nice looking, yet secure grip, and brass corby bolts
guard- none
sheath- Clean, dyed leather
weight-- 4.45 ounces with sheath
$145 plus $10 for shiping/insurance to CONUS. I can accept paypal Joe357m@bresnan.net or money order.
1st to post "I'll take it" gets it!!!
Ships within 48 hours of payment priority with ins.
Feedback appreciated, and thanks for looking!
