Hey guys, first sale attempt!
First one:
Steel: 1095, fully forged
Handle: Fully integral ironwood, with buffalo horn bolster and brass fittings
Blade length: 9"
Blade height at heel: 2.5"
Thickness at heel: 1/8"
This is a big guy ready to do some serious work. Balance is about 1" past the bolster. Ground to .007" before sharpening. Nicely contoured handle that works well as is or in a pinch grip. Hand sanded to 600 grit before finished with a scotchbrite pad. This knife was being sold at a shop where it developed a bit of rust on the ricasso. I had to go back and re-finish it as best I could, but there are a few small black dots in the ricasso.
Asking $220 shipped
Steel: 1095, fully forged
Handle: Integral ironwood sandwiching black and blue G10 liners
Blade length: Just shy of 8 3/4"
Blade height at heel: 2 3/16"
Thickness at heel: Just under 1/8"
Still a big knife, but lighter and more agile than the first. Balanced right where the plunge meets the spine. Ground to .003" before sharpening. Contoured handle works well as is or in pinch grip, but with the balance point I use mostly as is. Hand sanded to 600 grit and finished with scotchbrite pad.
Asking $200 shipped
On both of these, you can faintly see the hardening line. Too faint to get a picture of, but pretty neat to see
I am a relatively new maker, and this is my first time selling to people beyond friends and family. Any feedback, good or bad, would be incredibly appreciated
Thanks for looking!
