Hello Folks, Hope all is well. I have here another reasonably cool BnT. I am offering it at a discount because the G10 pins didn't fit quite as well as I would like. Other than that it is a pretty decent, solid little knife with good symmetry.

Blade is CPM 154 .091 thick and 3 in. tip to bolsters. O/A is 6.9 in. Heat treated with cryo and double tempered to 60-61 RC. Polished and then satin finished to 2000 grit.

Bolsters are CF held tight with bronze welding rod.

Handle is dyed and stabilized, curly maple with thin black fiber liners and green fiber accents. Pins are of G10 I turned against my grinder in a drill. I ground the G10 to about .002 under the hole size to leave room for glue, and they dry fit perfectly but once installed they lost that perfect fit appearance. The hole became a little chamfered or wider at the edge.

Sheath is 8-9 ounce hand tooled and hand stitched leather. Has a nice snug friction fit.

Normal asking price is $275.00. With discount $215.00 shipped Priority insured. I accept paypal. Thank you all. Alan

Alan,
Your Knives are a WORK OF ART and VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT for BEAUTY and FUNCTION.
You mention a slight imperfection, but considering that You are making these by hand and eye
with simple tools and without special computerized machinery makes YOU A TRUE CRAFTSMAN.

Thank you Tim, I appreciate it very much my Friend.
 
Alan - I believe you're saying that the G10 pins are below the scale's surfaces? You're right, the pics just don't show anything of the sort - how noticeable/how big of a deal would you say it is in person? Absolutely love this knife...so elegant!

I believe he is saying there is a tiny epoxy filled gap around the pins .

Thank you Sir, Much appreciated. Jack is correct, there is a gap that can be seen up close. I will try to add a pic that that will show this.

Thanks Jack. Alan
