Hello BF,

SOLD.

PRICE REDUCTION - I need to put together a budget for finishing supplies, I have 35 blanks at HT that should be back to me by mid next week.

I call this a semi tactical because I have incorporated a couple of tactical elements into the knife. I wanted to try out screws, this is my first knife where I used screws to hold the handle slabs to the tang. I also used Black canvas Micarta, finished a bit rough, for both look and purpose. I also left the handle edges a bit boxy...I also attempted my first swedge on this one, and it turned out well. It is very even, small but, even!:)

Knife is 9 1/8 inches OAL with a 4 1/4 inch cutting edge. It was made form 3/16 stock 1095. Is does have a hollow ground primary bevel, that is fairly "straight" this time around... although not dead on perfect.
Handles are black canvas Micarta with lack oxide coated screws held in using stand off's.
Sheath is right handed pouch style, 9/10 veg tan leather made by me for belt carry. It was treated with Neats Foot Oil for color and protection.
Knife was professionally heat treaded by Peters in Meadville, PA. It was hardened, tripled tempered, cryo-ed, and tested to Rc 58-59.

Knife is reduced to $sold (from $75) plus $10 for shipping and insurance to CONUS. I will ship internationally but, at the buyers additional expense.

Regards,
John Landi
 
Thanks Paul and ilikeknife.

I cant wait to try out screws again, it was nice to work on the scales right after attaching them.
 
That's a steal on a fabulous knife even if it was a "guinea pig" project. Turned out great. Like I've said time and time again, if I had the dough to spare it would be mine!!

(Just the right length too! I find there is a HUGE difference between a 4" and 5" blade.)
 
Hey Anthony, Sure I take paypal. I will Pm you! And Thanks.

Kershawnut - thanks for your interest, I will keep you posted.

Thanks John.
 
Landi, do you have a different website, the one you have on your signature (landiknives.com) doesnt work.

Thanks.
 
I am working on (with help) building it. A one pager should be up soon, followed by a multi page site within 4 weeks.
