This is your chance to have me make you a big and powerful but also fast and agile beast of a cutter.
Steel: AEB-L
Stock thickness: 1/4"
Hardness: 61 HRC
Blade Length: 13.25"
Handle Length: 6.25"
Blade height: 1.24" at the base, and 0.95" where the belly starts.
This blade will be ground full height flat vex and very thin behind the edge. It will be a very appealing middle ground between nimbleness and chopping power. Because of the relatively narrow profile, it will be quite easy to carry comfortably, and its simple handle design will make it a joy to use in most grips. At this size it will be a powerful chopper in its own right without the need to get two hands on the blade, but light and nimble enough that even extended use will generate very little fatigue. I'm extremely excited for this one!
It can also be requested as a ginunting/seax style blade with the inside curve sharpened instead, at no extra cost.
Or if you really want, I'll double edge it, also at no extra cost, but you have to understand that the half height grind on each side will be more obtuse than a full height grind on only one side. Alternatively I could also put a swedge or sharpened swedge on it, for however much blade length you choose.
Base price is $525 and includes black Boltaron taco sheath, and natural wood scales from most of what I have in stock, a good idea of which can be found here, but you will need to contact me for confirmation.
Handle upgrades are possible to other materials on a case by case basis, priced appropriately. Because the handle has a simple and straightforward shape, handle material and/or construction style upgrades will be quite reasonably priced, as it will make for efficient use of materials.
Shipping costs are not included in base price. Hopefully by the time these start going out, the tariff situation will be over and I can use Canada Post as before, but if that situation still exists, then it will be as described in my thread on tariffs.
30% deposits will be required to get in on the pre order, to help with overhead costs.
Here's a rough cardboard mockup so you can see these specs in hand (remember I am 6'5" and have long arms)
