Knife is SOLD
Haley DesRosiers and her husband Adam DesRosiers are both Master Smiths from ABS American Bladesmith Society, the same level as Mr. Carter, or Bob Kramer.
The DesRosiers are very famous in ABS, they make all kinds of amazing knives, Choppers, fighters, daggers, hunters, kitchen knives... you can google it yourself.... as you can expect from a real ABS MS. (not just making kitchen knives).
This a a fully hand-forged ABS Masterpiece.
This was her first custom knife in 2017, the knife is 7 3/8'' (around 185mm) blade length, and 12.25'' overall length.
It's forged W2 steel with integral handle, antique santin finish (basically it's light acid quench then hand-satin finish, it prevents rust very well),
The handle is stablized Hawaiian Koa with bronze/G10 spacers( the G10 spacers around the bronze are very thin, hard to tell until you actually hold the knife, it shows the elegant work of Haley).
The finish on this knife is amazing, as you can see from the pictures, the spine 100% straight, choil has smooth shape, integral bolster is nicely polished and 100% symmetric. You may also notice the very nice quenching wavy hamon around/on the bolster on the forged W2 blade, it's quite special.
I used a couple of times, never sharpened, then I brought to Haley during 2017 BLADE SHOW, she refinished it completely. And after I received it, I never used it again because I got so busy with my new job last year, so basically it's brand new condition after the refinishing.
I'm selling it for $OLD, paypal on me, US CONS for now. Any reasonable offers welcome.
Here are the pictures.
