CM154 and Mesquite semi-skinner -repost/price drop

[Jason Fry]

I'm planning on holding out most of my next few batches of blades so I'll have knives for the Guild show in September, but I need to keep selling a few to keep the show on the road. This knife is a one-off, a design I've never done before. Not sure I'll make another. It's kind of like the bullnose skinner I've done several of (including the one I have in November's Blade Magazine on pg. 66) , but built off of 1 x 3/32 stock instead of the usual 1 1/4 x 3/16 stock for that knife. Overall length is 7 inches with a 2 5/8 400 grit hand finished blade of CM154 steel at RC 60. The knife has 400 grit hand satin finished, dovetailed 416 SS bolsters and a nice thin tapered tang. The handle is stabilized spalted mesquite from my neighbor's front yard. Brass mosaic pin and thong hole. The sheath is my work as well. $240 to your door, check/MO or paypal.
