I made this one for myself, and I kept it for a while, but I made myself a different one. (I practice infidelity with my knives, I only keep them for a short time until I change my tastes:) )

The blade is 440C hardened to 58-59 RC. It cuts well, I can attest to that.

The handle is Maroon Linen Micarta. I put white spacers in for contrast.

The sheath is a very deep maroon leather that matches the handle pretty well. I started carrying knives in my pocket with a boot clip, and now, the only one I wear on my belt is a very small horizontal carry. I love the in-the-pocket sheath. It is made to be carried in the right pocket.

The blade has close to a mirror finish on it, just for looks. There is one scratch on the blade from my use. The problem with a mirror finish blade is that no one wants to put the first scratch on it, I took care of that problem for you:)

Dimensions

Blade - 4 1/2"
OAL - 8 1/2"

It was raining when I took the pictures and I did it outside. There are a few raindrops on the blade, just thought I'd let you know.

Price - $115 shipped. Paypal preferred to mlwbailey@yahoo.com
