Hello Bladeforums community. I have a couple of really nice paring knives that I need to unload on some fortunate soul ASAP. Normally I would sell these for a much higher price, but cash flow is low this week after a few unforeseen expenses arose. I have two knives for sale, but would really like to sell both of them at the same time if at all possible. They are made from 52100 ball bearing steel sourced from Alpha Knife Supply and have been given a full normalizing heat, as well as three thermal cycles prior to hardening and quenching. After triple tempering, the final Rockwell hardness on these two babies is 62-63. These knives feel great in the hand, they are super light weight, and the handle has been contoured for comfort in various grip styles. This blade design is one of my best selling models, due to its diversity. The knife works great as a paring knife, as an every day carry, or even a short bird & trout knife. One model is made from mesquite wood and the other from Purple Heart and have been treated with Watco Danish Oil for penetration, then TruOil for a bit of satin sheen, and then a final wax coat(s) for protection. The blade is hand rubbed to 800 grit for a nice satin finish as well. They are a couple of good looking hard working thin blades that slice through food like the proverbial light saber!
OAL: 7 1/2"
Blade: 3 1/8"
Handle: 4 3/8"
Thickness: 0.050"
Steel: 52100 62-63HRC
Edge: 26° inclusive (13° per side), 6 micron 0.005" prior to sharpening
Asking price is only SOLD. Both knives come with a felt lined plastic edge protector and free shipping anywhere in the USA. Also, as always, a lifetime "write your own warranty" as well as free re-sharpening and blade polish! If you would like a custom made kydex sheath made for either or both knives, just add $25 per sheath. Paypal preferred (samuraistuart@yahoo.com). Thank you so much!!!
