AEBL hardened by Peters to RC 61-62
Steel measures about .012 behind edge, pretty robust and very little flex.
Spine is .113 thick and distal taper for last third of the blade.
Excels with blade on board handle off board technique.
220 grit hand rub finish.
Bevels are ground on a 36" radius platen, these slight hollow bevels transition into a FFG bevel about last third of blade. This will ensure little to no thinning required for the life of this blade.
Handle is Walnut ferrule/yellow g10 spacer/ nicely rayed Oak handle. All natural, tung oil finish.
Stainless Steel pin and sealed with West Systems G-Flex.
There is a blemish on spine of handle. It is filled in with epoxy.
Because of this I am asking SOLD shipped to your door (CONUS) for this blade. If you are unhappy with your purchase I will refund within a week of delivery, as long as knife is still in original condition.
Paypal preferred.
There is also a rudimentary "saya" included, Originally this blade was involved in a pass around so I packaged it in the "saya" to ensure safe travels.
I have since refinished the blade and handle but the saya has bonded with the blade now and they seem to be happy with each other
