Happy Sunday everybody!
Finally finished this beast of a tool and would love your thoughts.
Started as a pair (1 with finger choil, 1 without).
Choil version was claimed while they were in process, so that became the priority. I will include a photo of the two together for reference.
I hope you like it
A2 at 59-60hrc.
0.2” x 1.75" x 11” OAL, and a hefty, but perfectly balanced 13.88oz
High sabre grind with a forced patina and some robust jimping up top,
Handle: Handmade, camo-inspired, 3-color Corduroy with a hand-rolled center pin. Tall and nicely contoured to 0.93” at the swell making it hand-filling and comfortable, especially for XL+ hands.
Hybrid Sheath: Kydex for body and molded overstrap, done in offsetting colors. Removable leather dangler setup makes it ambidextrous, and shock cord with hand rolled bead eliminates flopping around.
Eyelet spacing can also accommodate other carry options.
Asking $375, shipped insured CONUS. Venmo or Zelle preferred, but Paypal will work.
Comment or DM me if you are interested or have any questions
Thanks for looking!
