Black Ash Burl Camp Knife with Hamon

[TK Steingass]

Hi fellas:

This full tang camp knife is a handful!! The stabilized black ash burl scales were dyed black for a really neat effect......the set is loaded with burls! If you look closely, there were a few voids filled with epoxy and that is the nature of this material.....some makers leave 'em open, some fill 'em. The blade is flat/hollow ground - there is a slight concave on the blade since it was ground on a 36" diameter curved platen. The primary edge is ground to .035" with 25 degrees for a robust edge. The blade was hand rubbed to 2000 grit and lightly etched/polished, showing a vivid hamon line. The Wickett and Craig 8-10 oz leather sheath has a 14 oz leather spine with cam in it, giving a satisfying pop when you sheath the knife. I hope you like it! The first "I'll take it" gets it. $350 plus $20 shipping. International orders will require additional postage and I may not be able to get insurance - sorry. Paypal preferred to my account tksteingass@frontier.com and I accept USPS money orders or personal checks. Maker's lifetime common sense warranty and free sharpening.

Best regards,

TK

One of these days, one of your knives will make it's way to my neck of the woods. Beautiful knife, just not in the cards for me this time. Love your work though.
