here's a little bullnose necker, I've been carrying one just like it for a few months and it's really great.

15N20 Steel

blade is just over 2 1/4"

OAL just over 4 1/4"

convex grind.

Fairly rustic ipe scales, sealed and hardened. buffed 400 grit finish.

The sheath is the one for mine, I've got the leather molding up for this one, not dyed yet, I can finish it in yellow (as pictured), brown, or black for you. I don't have any period cord, but if you like I can toss in some paracord.

$75 shipped in the US

I like it! One quick ?. Second pic down, on the left edge of the scale. Is that a crack I'm seeing when you click on the link to enlarge the pic? Looks like it, but can't say for sure.
 
it's a filled check from the wood, i soaked the scales in wood hardener and then put additional coats on to preserve it. There's a few smaller spots on the other side. I hadn't even noticed in all my concern on the final edge. It is a really tough wood to get completely buffed out in such thin scales.

The one I've been carrying looks like it's fine. peened rivets and a scratched blade from use, though :)

now i am all annoyed and about to tear it apart.
 
marking this as pending.

zingzong2005: There's another one I've finished heat treating here, shipping to Europe is at whatever cost is involved- generally about $11. Haven't had any trouble shipping overseas yet :) Send me an email if you like and i will post photos in about 2 days.
