There are four knives to offer to you this week! The first is actually a repost and price drop from an earlier thread.
Knife #1 (Black Widow)
This is a tanto (or kwaiken) made from Crucible's "Cru Forge V" high carbon vanadium steel. It has been hardened and tempered for a final hardness of ~61HRC. The blade flats are polished differently than the bevel for a contrasting look. The spine has been crowned and polished. Handle is black cotton "ito" diamond wrap over red g10, and is epoxy impregnated. The guard is formed by a "turks head" knot, and was also epoxy impregnated to prevent it from unraveling. I call it "The Black Widow"! It feels really good in the hand and is extremely sharp!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knife #2 (Orange)
This is an every day carry or paring knife....your choice! It has a "K" tip which I really like in a knife like this. The steel is Sheffield O1 tool steel at 62HRC, 1/16" thick at the spine. Handle is blaze orange g10 with black micarta pins. The grind is full flat for excellent slicing cuts and terminates in an extremely sharp edge apex, basically an oversized razor blade! Sharpening choil can easily be added if desired, just let me know if you prefer one.
Price is $150 with a custom made kydex sheath (as an EDC knife)
-or-
Price is $125 with plastic edge guard (as a paring knife)
Free shipping! paypal preferred (samuraistuart@yahoo.com). All knives have a lifetime unlimited "write your own" warranty. Thanks for taking a look and follow me on Instagram: stuartalandavenport
(Please note this price and contact info is identical for the next 2 knives)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knife #3 (Mesquite)
Exactly the same as above, only with mesquite wood handles and white g10 liners, brass pins. The wood was treated with Danish oil, buffed, then waxed for extra protection. Sharpening choil can be added if you like, just let me know.
Price and all info is identical.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knife #4 (Maple)
This is almost identical to the knives above, but instead of the "K" tip, this knife features a more traditional "drop point". Same steel and heat treatment. The handle is made from an attractive piece of quilted maple with red g10 liners, and was given a gloss coating with TruOil. Price and all info is the same as above (Knives #2 and #3). Thank you for taking a look!
