Happy Saturday Forum Friends! This is the latest (and largest) blade in my inventory...I hope you all like it.
A2 @ 59-60 HRC
0.20" x 2" x 14-3/4" OAL. 8-5/8" cutting edge, 9-1/4" tip to scales, and weighs 19.25 oz.
High Sabre grind with 220 grit hand finish on all surfaces. Large finger choil, thumb jimping, dual lanyard holes, and a light swedge at the spine.
**Very very small ding on the spine corner of the swedge on the right side (couldn't get my phone camera to focus on it, so it doesn't show in the pics), and my scratch lines aren't perfect. I have learned that the more I try to fix imperfections, the more mistakes I tend to add to them...but I do my best.
Handle is handmade 4-color color Corduroy with rock texturing and set at 1" thick...roomy and comfortable, even for XL+ sized hands.
Hand rolled center pin from the handle block, and sanded to 600 grit so it is smooth but retains some texture and grip
Sheath is Kydex with ambidextrous mounting plate for the belt loop, or the included large combat loop (knock-off Tek-lock) if you prefer it to ride higher on the hip.
Belt loop and button strap are Leather dyed in Oxblood Red to bring out the stripes in the handle.
Please enjoy...
Asking $400 shipped CONUS with insurance. Venmo or Zelle is preferable, but PayPal will work...it's just expensive
Please let me know what you think...post here, DM, or email me at w.drakejr@gmail.com.
Thanks for looking!
Bill
