What I have here is a breakthrough for me as far as knife making goes. I have been learning off and on for the last 6+ years from Bill Burke and have drooled over his pronghorn knives every second I have known they exsisted. This is my first attempt at emulating his wonderful and rugged knives.

It s a 3.5" long 52100 blade with a 3.75" curley claro walnut and brass handle. The blade has been normalized 3 times, quenched 3 times and tempered 3 times for a tough little blade with a keen little edge And the handle contours the palm and fingers nicely. There is a hint of a temper line in the sunlight and the blade has been hand rubbed to 2000 grit and the buffed on a buffing wheel. And.the handle has been treated with tru-oil and buffed with 0000 steel wool to bring out the chatoyance in the walnut.

I am asking $175.00 shipped in the u.s. I accept pay pal and USPS money orders.

Thanks, Andrew Finnie.

Looks good Andrew! Such a good teacher to learn from and admire. I don't see a sheath, does it come with one?

I have not made one yet and will on request of the buyer. I need to pick up some leather. Bill is a great teacher and friend. he has taught me a lot over the sporadic visits and calls.

Thankyou ! I am quite fond of the pronghorn with a clip. If a blade shape could be sexy that would be the one.

Thanks again
 
Hi Andrew, nice looking knife. A pronghorn with a little of your own flair. I like the handle and think it has a nice price. If it does not sell I think it would look good on your belt this fall. Unless you happen to have the real deal from Bill!!!
