I have a mint condition ABS Master Smith Burt Foster Laminated fighter/utility with premium California Buckeye burl handle and a hand-satin finished blade for sale.
The handle of this piece was shaped by Burt to better fit smaller hands like mine. Nickel silver hilt, Buckeye burl use in the handle has a very nice grain pattern, and any voids have been expertly filled by Burt for minimal burl pattern disruption.
Burt has made very few of these difficult to find laminated blades, using W-2 as the core, with a thin layer of nickel for bonding, then 416 stainless steel for the skin. This gives a hard and sharp center, with the rust resistance of stainless steel, and a very nice hardening line, or hamon, that is not very visible in the accompanying photograph.
The Foster listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and the original edge from Burt is very sharp. The knife includes a Burt Foster made sheath of peanut butter tan cowhide, with a black ostrich leg inlay.
Price is $old, pending funds, which includes Priority Mail shipping, insurance, and delivery confirmation within the continental US, only. No trades, please. All local laws must be observed, no sales to persons under 18 years of age. Payment terms are U.S. Postal Money order, if I don't know you, or personal check, if I do. Best way to reach me is dethrdr@hotmail.com. Post "I'll take it" here, we'll go from there.
The specs:
Condition: Mint
Blade length: 5 1/2"from tip to handle
Overall length: 10 1/8"
Blade stock thickness: 3/16"
Blade steel: W2/nickel/416 Stainless steel laminate
