Hey guys offering up a camp knife (or whatever you want to use it for).
Specs
3/16" 52100, 10.75" overall with a 6" blade, hand rubbed to 600grit.
Handle is black acacia, dyed green and stabilized by KandG. Loveless bolts and gflex epoxy.


"FLAWS", so there are some scratches that occurred after final sanding that I can not go back and fix without removing the handle. There is really no way to even them out and have the blade not end up looking worse. Also on the front right scale there is a small area where the scale didnt meat up perfectly. Every place else they got a nice fit just right up in front on that side.

The "Good". The wood has a really cool shimmering effect kind of like a trout or small fish is the best way I can describe it. Really a cool look. The knife is besides the cosmetic flaws a good knife and should be a good user for the price.

Price shipped to lower 48,SOLD with a simple but nice leather sheath, if you want a more custom style sheath it will cost some more. Please request right or left handed.
PayPal preferred PM please for info.

Thanks for looking.

Congratulations, dullone. Great deal.
 
Sorry I can not as I did not get this guy tested. I dont have a hardness tester and have to send off to get them tested. I had one of my other blades in 52100 tested and being tempered at 415f it was 61-62 HRC. I tempered this one higher to get it a tad softer so hoping its around 59 or so but like I said I cant verify. With a larger utility blade like this I would like around 58-60 tops and with the little guys I shoot for a little higher.
 
Now you have to use it once you get and, of course, pics are a necessity! :D we need to satisfy our hunger for action.
