*****Reduced to $60*****
This is my first post in this area, so I belive a breif intorduction might be in order. My name is Brendan Gausvik, I got into knife making a little while ago, making alot of knives from scrap metal and such. I haven't got into making all my own blades yet (as is the case below), but it will probably only be a matter of time. My main interested is traditional nordic and early american style knives.
Okay, on to the more important stuff. The knives below are built around blades made by Karesuando in Sweden. They are high carbon steel ( I am not sure of the exact make-up, but I can probably get it if need be) and are around 57Rc. Blades have drop points and scandinavian grinds. Sheaths on both knives are built around plastic liners. The more traditional thing to do would be to carve a wood liner, but I would be concerned about the wood retaining water and getting moldy and what-not. Sheath is treeted with beeswax and has an intigral firesteel loop on the back (it isn't visible in the pictures, but I can get a picture if anyone wants to see one).
Asking $70 60 each, to your door (assuming that your door is in the lower 48. If it isn't shipping will be more)
Knife number one has a maple handle with a satine spacer and brass pin and fittings. Overall length is about 8 inches. (towards the end of the handle, on the top there is a small black spot where I sanded down to some epoxy, it wont affect function in the least, but I figured I should mention it)
Number two has a purple heart handle with an oregon myrtle spacer. It is slightly shorter at about 7.5''. Very comfortable in hand. WE'll call this one Sold
Paypal and MO or both fine, I'll pay paypal fees. Post here and PM me if you want one/both.
Thanks,
Brendan
