I made this knife several years ago and it's been in storage ever since. I just ran across it and thought, "Someone should be using this". So here it is.
It's one of the first blades I ever forged, and I tested it extensively at the time. It did very well.
I just checked the edge on it, and there is a bare patch on each arm and a slightly elevated heart rate to attest to the fact that it is scary sharp. 
I'm selling it as-is, which means that there are a few spots on the blade, (which you can see in the pics), and the guard is not as refined and graceful as my current work. Also, the blade has a satin bead blasted finish.
However, it's perfectly usable, and I hope whoever gets it, does so.
The sheath is also an early attempt, but was not as successful as the knife.
If you throw it away and have someone make you a nice one, you won't hurt my feelings. Or, for an extra $45, I'll make you a better one.
Steel: 5160, forged.
Hardness: Probably around 59 RC
Blade length: 8-5/16" recurved
Total length: 13-13/16"
Blade thickness: 7/32"
Handle material: black canvas micarta
Price: $250 + $11 shipping
I can take paypal, check, or MO. Please send corrospondence and paypal to phillip@pattonblades.com
Thanks for looking!
