Good afternoon fellow blade lovers! Been off-site for a minute working on a side project, but now I am able to get posting again.
This is the second release of my Rambler model...this time with a different handle shape...I hope you all like it!
D2; 61-62 HRC. 0.15" x 0.96" tall x 8.6" OAL.
3.6" 1200 grit satin finished blade
3.8" tip to scales with robust stick tang
Handle is end-cut quilted maple (NOT Stabilized), sectioned in a zig-zag, with front "guard" made from wood chips and epoxy.
Nicely contoured and nearly 1" thick at the swell. Length is probably more suited for medium to large hands...XL and above may feel a slightly cramped.
Several sand and soak treatments with Tung oil up to 2500 grit prior to polishing.
Hand rolled burlap pin
Weighs 4.8 oz.
Relatively compact handmade leather belt sheath with honeycomb stamping...right hand carry.
Asking $175 shipped CONUS. Venmo or Zelle preferred as Paypal is slow and expensive.
Open to comments here, or email me at w.drakejr@gmail.com
Thanks for looking!
