Hi All,

Here you go my latest work an Arkansas Toothpick. Developed the same time as the Bowie for pretty much the same purpose. A very good representation of the original design using more contemporary materials. Enjoy!

Here are the specifics:
Blade steel is Aldo’s 3/16ths 1095 taken to a Rockwell 59 and polished, fittings are 154-CM
Overall length is 14 inches
Blade length in front of the guard 9 inches
Blade width at it’s widest 2 inches
Handle is made from stacked leather around central 1/4 inch 416 stainless Steel Allscrew.
Braze between the blade and the Allscrew is hi temperature 70 % silver alloy brazing
Weight is 13.3 ounces point of balance is 3/4 of an inch in front of the guard. Feels very good in the hand. I wear a size large glove and it is very comfortable to hold.
Sheath is custom .080 black Kydex currently set up for right hand hip draw.

Price is $315.00 including the sheath and priority shipping with insurance to the U.S.A. Payment is by Paypal. IM me here or email me at kenhills@gmail.com for the Paypal info. Please leave a note on the thread o I do not get duplicate requests. Comments are always appreciated, now here are some pictures.



























Thanks for looking. Comments good or bad are always appreciated. Ken

Longer it takes to heal as well. If I live long enough I will learn to back off when I start to get fatigued. .........like that will ever happen.
