Blade-3 & 3/16" long, 7/8" wide, & 1/16" thick. Hollow ground to .010" before final sharpening. I can sharpen it or let the buyer put his own edge on it.
Handle-Double dyed & stabilized Box Elder Burl. 3.5" long. Attached with Stainless Corby's and Acra-glass epoxy.
Heat treat-Thermal cycled 3 times for grain refinement, fully hardened to HRC 66-67, & triple tempered to a working hardness of HRC 61-62.
The pics do not do this one justice. The burl has very tiny "eyes" that didn't take dye so they are still their natural color and surrounded by the dyed wood for a really nice contrast. This is a thin blade that has been ground thin also. It wont split pelvis bones but it will cut hair, hide, & flesh like a champ.
Price-$75.00 + $5.00 insured shipping to the USA. I haven't made a sheath but can make one to the buyers specs for another $20.
Comments & questions welcomed.
Thanks for looking.

Nice knife, Darrin. I love the clean lines and your new maker's mark is terrific. I happen to know first hand your leatherwork skills are top notch too. Somebody will have a great knife at a great price!
