Hi Guys! I'm letting go of a stellar piece - it's never been used, worn, sharpened, anything. Just as I received it from Ben Akin "Bigin" in October 2018. He's a really good American knife maker, & this type of knife is his sweet spot...& as you can see, he doesn't treat the sheath as an after-thought...his leather sheaths always match the individual identities of his knives.
My PayPal is scotts@reeve-knight.com Price includes CONUS shipping = USPS Priority {the only way to mail stuff IMO}, & PP Fees. You can always F&F me via PayPal, your choice.
This is a Frame-Handle Bowie. Look it up if you don't know what that means....really cool construction method, & this example is very well done - All of the pins are just perfectly smooth, even, love it. This knife feels great in hand, due to the simple shape...but it's not just simple, it's correct - Ben Akin is "Bigin", & he builds knives that can go all day, knives you can actually use the eff out of if you so choose, but if you're like me, & you mostly collect knives....that is, most of the knives you own stay pristine, the design/materials/fit-n-finish elevate his knives/sheaths to that level as well. Ya want a "safe queen", boom....ya want a really nice knife that you can actually cut stuff with all day long, boom.
This is 01 Steel, 3/16" stock, 6.75" blade {1 13/16" @ widest spot}, 11 9/16" OAL. The edge is, you guessed it, quite sharp.
The Sheath design is called a Mexican pouch style. It's all hand tooled & stitched. The leather is dyed to match the knife, & it's got a cool metal compass mounted to the front.
I paid $400 in October 2018, I'm letting her go for $237!
Please reply within this thread something like "I'll take it", as I'll get an email alert when you do....if you only PM me, I won't see it for a while.
