Sorry for the following, extra crappy snap-shots... Erin had to take my camera to school, so I had to use an old one that's on its last leg. But I wanted to give an idea of what the sheath looks like and how it rides. :)

Thanks again folks :)
 
I have enough of that birdseye for about 6 more of these. ;)

These two were not forged. I actually cut them out of some 4" wide O1 stock that I had. I think it would have been easier to forge them... :foot: lol.

I hope no one feels like this thread was misleading--- In the OP I wrote they were ground from O1 to signify stock removal--- I sure wasn't trying to hide it.

Personally, I'd take standing next to the anvil over standing in front of the bandsaw any day... but from a production standpoint, sometimes stock removal just makes more sense.

Thanks guys :)

You and me both; but unfortunately your right.



Great looking knives Nick!
 
Hi Nick,

I'll take it, if still available. Please let me know your PP address.

Thanks,
Mark

At that price point, with those details, construction and materials it seemed obvious it wasn't forged.

Please make more- it gives working class guys like me the chance to get something nice that I can actually use without breaking the bank.
 
Mark- It's all yours, THANK YOU!!! We really appreciate it!!! :)

Mitch- I have more of this type of knife in the works. I think working these in with the orders for the big knives will be really good for me. :)

Thanks guys! :)
