Afternoon folks,
Today I have an odd one for your consideration.....
An Aranyik K1 Enep made in Thailand and assembled/finished by Miles in Hawaii. This piece is from 2013/2014 when Miles was offering leather sheaths as a $100 option.
Some specs:
~ 13 inch blade (5160 forged truck spring, differential heat treat)
~ Only about 10-11 sharp inches, allows choking up on the blade
~ 19 inches overall with a 5.5 inch usable handle
~ Tropical hardwood handle (forget the exact wood) with some shock absorbing wrap done by me
~ ground more like an axe, with a strong convex edge
Here is the album with ALL the photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/22744244@N07/albums/72157699609345244
Some notes..... I have used this but taken good care of it. There is patina but no rust of any kind I can find. The balance is VERY forward heavy with a total weight around 2 pounds not including the sheath.
I would love for this to go to a home that has it see loads of hard use!
I am going to start the price now at $180 shipped and insured. Shipping this could be pricey, not sure on that yet. Only taking PayPal G&S..... my price includes fees and insurance.
I am unsure of this price so i am open to offers too. Offers can include trade offers too but I prefer very specific knives or size of knives right now. Selling this to make space so any trade would have to be something smaller.
This is cross posted. First I will take it, gets it of course
Thanks for looking!
