This one was cancelled due to the loss of a job. No worries, I just finished it out the way I wanted too! This is Big Man scandi in 1095, 4 1/2 inch long blade and 4 1/2 inch handle. I dressed it up a bit with a nice wood handle and mosaic pins! It comes with the firesteel and I will make a leather sheath with a loop for the steel. Shipped to your door in the USA for 160.00. Canada buyers add 15.00 for shipping ( sorry guys, postage is a bit rough going into Canada)

With the large backlog of orders I have right now, this is a good way to snag one of these bushies!

Thanks!

Specs on the blade aren't rust, I oiled this blade heavily and this is a bit of dirt from the shop. Didn't realize it was on here until I posted....The etch is a touch blurry, but you can still read it... I am on the verge of just going with my initials on everything!
 
Is the wood stabilized? What is it?

The wood is cocobolo and is one of the hardest woods I have everworked with, it is not stabilized. From the reading I have done on it, It does not need to be stabilized. Somewhere here on BF there was a list posted of woods that are stabilized and some that don't require it. From my memory of that thread the very hard woods are typically not stabilzed and the softer woods are.
 
How thick is the handle on this? Any chance of a pic of the handle from the top, and an in-hand pic? Thanks either way, great looking blade-
 
I'm pretty sure this knife of mine is cocobolo as well, great looking wood that seems to get richer with age.
