This one shows the old handle, I'm just including it so you can see the entire blade.

Thanks for looking!

I big big fan from way back, but I think the handle material just doesn't match with the beautiful blade sculptured blade and hand guard.

I am inclined to concur.

You guys are probably right, I just hate the thought of re-handling this one. Besides, it'll darken with age...

I actually dig the handle.

I wouldnt mind owning this little baby, but the length would relegate it to a camping knife only. I am a D2 fan as well as a recurve fan. But 400 is steep for a camper/climing companion for me.

Beautiful through and through !

Well, I think I'm gonna put another handle on this. I hate the thought of it, but it's better than having it languish for years on here.

I'll be using either black micarta or african blackwood. So if someone is interested and has a preference, please let me know. I will, however, be raising the price back up to $500.

Phillip Patton · Nov 18, 2012

Ok, here's the new handle. I decided to go with the african blackwood.

And the price again is $500, plus $15 shipping.
