CPM154 Wharn-cleave. (PRICE DROP)

[Harden Knives]

Hey, everyone!
I hope you're having a good weekend and I am VERY excited about this new one.

As the title so implies, I am calling this one the Wharn-cleaver (not to sound gimmicky), because I think it is stout enough to be a cleaver but with no belly.

I took this bad boy's grind up to about 2/3rds the blade, and finished it with the bevel, and against the bevel on the flats, to 400 grit fine satin finish.
I used black g10 from alpha knife supply (0.150 thick) and applied a nice contour to it.
Stainless steel pins and lanyard hole are being used (don't worry, the lanyard hole fits paracord )
I finally got to use some blue kydex that I had lying around for ages and it came out quite nice I must say.
Some stats for nerds:

Overall length:7.5"
Blade length (from plunge): 3 1/8"
Blade length from ricasso: 3.5"
Handle length:4"
Blade thickness: 0.150
Heatreated by brad stallsmith at peters heat treat to 58-59 Rockwell.

Note: "insert some excuse for the makers mark being very slightly crooked by about 0.010"

I am asking $175 PRICE DROP $140 and am open to offers for this one and as always I will cover shipping CONUS (UPS) - No Overseas for now please.1

If you purchase this before Monday comes around, I can ship it Monday.

I would prefer cash but may be open to a yojimbo, paramilitary or zt 0560/1 trade.

If you have any questions at all or just want to chat, shoot me a text at (720) 514-1925 or PM me, and don't worry, you wont be disturbing any relaxing

Don't worry, that is just oil on the blade in the last picture.

Looks great. One question and one request.

Is the front edge sharpened?

Could you provide a spine shot of the handle so I could see the contouring?

Thanks.

Hey thanks for the interest! Sorry i did not reply sooner since i was in church and did not receive the email notification on my phone.

#1: no the front swedge is not sharpened but it is somewhat thin and convex and I could put and edge on it if you would like.

#2: The handle is not HEAVILY contoured but there is an obvious radius and in my opinion is just as comfortable as a heavily contoured knife

Sorry for the bad inside pictures and i absolutely could not get the camera to focus on the butt.

If you have any more questions, feel free to comment, PM me or, preferably, text or call me at (720) 514-1925.
