Here is one of my large HEPK {high endurance performance knife} hunters in forged 52100 and Indian Rosewood, decked out with a handsanded and etched finish. this one is a nice companion for your time spent in the hills chasing antelope, deer and elk, and of course will also do fine for the cottontails and grouse for camp dinners.
it features a full guard for added protection from the blade when you are dressing out an elk on a sidehill in a foot of snow and you cant really feel your fingers and are several miles from the truck.
this class of knife is what I started my knifemaking career on, and is very similar to the one I carry on my belt when elk hunting far from the truck where a dependable knife that is safe and friendly to the hand with a full guard and a one handed sheath is a must.
OAL- 9 1/2"
blade- 5" long tip to guard, .163" thick at the spine, .075" measured 1/4" behind the edge, and .010" thick at the shoulder of the edge. 1 1/8" wide
steel- forged 52100 from a 1" round from McMaster carr, differentially hardened. heat treat includes a triple normalize, triple anneal, triple edge quench and triple temper for a really nice performing blade that takes and holds a great edge and yet is easy to resharpen!
grind- a light to medium convex grind, sharpened on a DMT 325 diamond hone with micro bevels, to an aggressive razor edge
finish- 600 grit handsanded finish, etched in ferric to bring out the hardening line
handle- Indian Rosewood with brass guard and pin. handle is finished with 400 grit with the lines running lengthwise with the handle so it looks good yet isn't slick
sheath- 8-9 oz clean, dyed leather, with cam for a snap fit.
weight - 9.80 ounces for the total package of knife and sheath.
SOLD!!!! $450 plus $15 for shiping/insurance to CONUS. I can accept paypal Joe357m@bresnan.net or money order. This one is also on my website, and can be purchased there also at www.caltoncutlery.com
This one is SOLD!!!!
