This one I am a little sad to see go.

I have been carrying this for about 3 weeks, but I had an unexpected expense come up, and it is time to part with it.

It is 440C, rockwell tested to 58. The handle is African Blackwood with a nice white spacer to set it off.

Bolsters are brass. and it has a nice mosaic pin keeping the handle firmly in place.

The sheath is black leather, but it was made to be carried in the pocket on the right hand side. I wear jeans alot, and it fits well in my pocket and I sometimes forget that I have it with me (which is not good, I work at a school!)

Knife specs:
Blade - 4"
OAL - 8"

Price - reduced again $115 shipped, was $145


I love the knife and I am sure you will too.

Email me if you want more pics

I like to see Matt's work coming out for sale, cuz it means the one I ordered is moving a long closer and closer to the day it comes to me. Yeah.:D

This here's a nice one. Great leatherwork. Love the work on the spine. I know it doesn't add to the function, but is sure makes it a smart looking tool.
 
Friend of bills, Your knife is in the gallery. I believe it is the 3rd one down in my most recent post. I am making a sheath for it tonight, and hope to have it shipped Saturday.
 
:eek: :eek: :eek: OMG, its the third, right, not the last one? OMG that's awesome. OMG I love the Hamon. OMG, I've gotta see the file work on the spine. It looks like a monster of a blade. It's beautiful. O. M. G. !!!:eek: :eek: :eek:
 
I bought one of these from Matt late last year. This is a sturdy blade with very nice fit and finish. I think I could probably drive nails with it, if I where brave enough.
 
Thanks Simmons,

The other ones flew, I am not sure why this one seems so stagnant.
 
Matt makes a very good knife, I have one of his and one in the mail on it's way.

I bet you won't be dissappointed in any way, looks or functional wise.
 
Oh from what I've seen I have no doubt it's excellent. Just wanna see a coupple more shots of the overall look. :D
