Combat Knife SOLD , Trail Bowie SOLD
- Thread starter mcswood
- Start date
It's 13. 5" overall and weighs 24.5 oz.
The blade is 1095 spring steel 8.5" X 1. 15/16" and 1/4" thick.
The fittings are 1018 steel WELDED to the full tang.
The scales are lightly darkened Curly Maple.
The sheath is 10 oz. leather with black steel rivets and a
black steel snap.
It's cemented at the spacers and hand stitched
using doubled waxed nylon saddle stitching thread making for an
extremely rugged, rough use sheath.
The rough beveled blade is reheated in the forge to glowing red
and quenched in strained used motor oil. After it's cleaned of slag
it's brought back up in temp. until it can be struck with a file.
I leave the file marks showing. I like a handmade knife to look
handmade.
This is how I harden / temper my blades. They hold an edge
extremely well.
SOLD incl. shipping in the U.S. (PAYPAL or usps (POSTAL) M.O.)
Will ship international w/ additional shipping charges.
1st. "I'LL TAKE IT" to my email address mcswoodknives@gmail.com
takes it.
Emails must have a subject related to the post or they won't be opened.
Thanks for looking,
Mike

The following note will be in all my listings. It may or may not apply;
"I make blades with the intent that they will be used and abused for
a lifetime and I concentrate my efforts along this simple line.
Cosmetics aren't very important and I make little effort to reach
visual perfection.
As a result there can be slight imperfections such as a blade not being
perfectly straight. So please observe the top down views and determine
if the blade pictured meets your needs."
