Hey BF,
KNIFE IS SPF.
This is a Hunting styled knife that has an issue. The blade warped slightly during HT. It was probably the 4th or 5th knife a tried to hollow grind, and I ground it a bit to thin before HT. I cleaned it up, you can't really tell via the pics, but it is there. About 3 or 4 waves when you your fingers across it, I took this into consideration while deciding on a price. There is also a small ding right below my makers mark and an 1/8 up from the edge. I didn't want to grind it out for fear it would leave the main bevel to thin. I wanted to have a useable knife... you can see it in the pic.
OAL is 9 1/2, edge is 4 5/8, blade is 1 1/16 from spine to edge.
Handle is Cocobolo, it is well contoured from top to bottom and front to back. It is very comfortable.
Pins, tube are 3/16 brass.
Heat treat was by Peters in Meadville, PA, it is guaranteed to Rc 58-59. It is triple tempered and cryoed to neg 300 C.
Sheath is pouch style, right handed, with a belt loop. It is dyed Mahogany. Hardware and wax string are from Tandy.
Priced at $45 plus $10 shipping. Shipping includes insurance to post to Conus. I will ship international but at your expense.
