Hi,
I have a knife for sale, available now.
It is my Colonial Hunter
This knife is 12 inches overall, with 6 inch blade, and is approximately 1/8th inch thick.
The Colonial Hunter is investment cast 1084, with a stained hardwood tool handle, rifle barrel style bolster, forged file texture, and my darkened finish.
For awhile, sometimes back, I had a couple items cast for me, this was back in the days of the big interest in cast tools, like Boye was doing with his dendritic 440C.
So, the knife starts as a casting, then I do clean up, I harden the knife, temper the knife, lathe the handle, and assemble and finish the knife.
The mold was made from a knife I hand forged from a rasp. The bolster was an old gun barrel
I have sold quite a number of these, and the response has been quite positive.
$75 without a sheath.
