Have a couple ready to ship.

First up is a Crooked Spade. This knife has become one of my more popular designs. It's small and discreet but the pear shape allows for a firm comfortable grip in several positions. Perfect for an EDC fixed blade.

Blade length: 2 1/4"
Overall Length: 4 5/8"
Scales: Lignum Vitae
Material: 1/4" 1084, thinned to about 3/16 at the blade, hand rubbed & Satin finish
Sheath: 8/10 oz American Cowhide belt sheath

I can make an additional pocket sheath for this knife for $30

Price: $120 shipped Priority

I'll have more pictures loaded on my site soon, in the mean time email me if you'd like to see more.

Next up is a big chopping, limbing, butchering knife. I made this just goofing around with some idea's I wanted to play with. It's intentionally left a little primitive and was partially inspired by japanese digging knives. It's full thickness 5/16" with the scale left on the flats, the blade bevel is blued. The hidden tang is nearly 1" wide and goes to within 1/2" of the butt, then secured with two 5/16" Bronze pins and a 3/16" thick bronze Bunting Bearing that's press fit onto the two piece scale.

Blade length: 6 1/2"
Overall Length: 13 1/4"
Scales: Black Palm
Material: 5/16" 5160
Sheath: 8/10 oz American Cowhide pack sheath with belt frog

***SOLD*** shipped

I'll have more pictures loaded on my site soon, in the mean time email me if you'd like to see more.

I'll gladlt take seconds on the second. Love that chopper design!Would be an excellent little cleaver.
 
First, thanks everyone for the positive comments, they are greatly appreciated.

I have a lot of email's and PM's to sort through and I want to be fair so I need to figure out who was first, but it's safe to say the chopper is sold. I have more that are similar designs in the works so stay tuned.

J Haning, the thong tube on the Crooked Spade is brown Micarta, the ID is pretty close to 1/2 but not quite, I'd have to measure it again to be sure. The small pin is stainless, not that you asked ;)

Thanks again
