This is a user knife. It is forged from a bar of 5160 and given an antique finish to the blade so that there will be no worries about scratching a pristine finish. This knife flies through saplings and brush.

The handle is oak wrapped in hemp and epoxy soaked. It is very durable and grippy. It has a long handle so that when you are reaching into briers to cut them down, you can grab it at the end and not tear your hands up on the thorns. The tang on this is quite long and goes to within an inch or so of the butt of the handle.

The sheath is leather with a Sam Brown stud.

Dimensions
Blade - 9" tip to knot
OAL - 17 1/4"

Price - $200 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order

The first to post here "I'll take it!" gets it.

Thanks guys. Every time I hold one I look for something to hack to pieces. They are a lot of fun.
