I get asked all the time if I ever have any "rejects"....and I honestly never do!

Because I toss 'em in the trash in a FIT of HERCULEAN ANGER!!

Thankfully that rarely happens...:D :o :foot:



BUT....


I do have some knives I have "set aside for later". Sometimes because they were giving me fits...sometimes because I lost interest...sometimes because I honestly forgot...


And this is one of those times.


:thumbup:



I made these blades a LONG time ago...

They were from some forged-down W2 (something I rarely-almost-never have in stock).

Well...they've been sitting on my bench bugging me for long enough.

It's time to do something with them.


So, come Wednesday....there's going to be a KILLER deal posted....


Just a heads up. ;)


These knives are functionally perfect...just "cosmetically flawed"....:D


Here are the blades, waiting to be glued up:

The steel is oversize 3/16" thick W2 which has been clay-coated for a hamon line.

These are some BEEFY Santokus...meant to be hard-use camp/kitchen knives = BRUTES (not fine choppers).

Handles will be synthetics with aluminum pins.

Kydex sheaths will also be available!

Eyes peeled!!!

Dan



p.s. standard price for these would have been $250....but Wednesday's price is going to be a HECKUVALOT lower than that. :eek:
 
Dibs gladly awarded - take your pic - 1, 2 or 3 (from left to right).



No payment needed....


yet.


:eek:


;)
 
Dan

I'd like to call dibs on #2 but I just got back from a pen show. :eek:

Need to know $$$$before I can pull the trigger
 
Can't reveal price just yet....gonna have to risk it...all part of the game....;)



Here's a progress pic:

Left to right


Red/Black G10 (#2)

Blue/Black G10 (#3)

Natural Canvas Micarta (#1)


There are going to be 3 very happy dudes come Wed...;)


:eek:
 
Dan, I'll go for #1, if I may.
No sheath needed, and either of the others would do if #1 is taken. :)

Ohhh. Put me down for the one with natural micarta! :D

Of course, always the risk of buying something without knowing the price. :foot: :p
 
I think they're all gone as this point? -but if one's left I'll take it -been lookin for a kitchen knife my girlfreind can't break ( or at least can't break without a really good story about how it happened ? Hmmm- not cheap entertainment -but who ever said she was low maintence?)
 
Would now be a good time to claim dibs on all 3? Or would that count as sassin a mod? :p
 
i will take one if any is left, green canvas micarta if possible

ok i willl take any of them, i wrote to soon, sorry dan
 
ok guys - interest has been great....we'll go "in order of dibs" come Wednesday...you'll need to be ready on the trigger finger around lunchtime (CDT) and money not only talks...it will SHOUT. :D :thumbup:



ColdOne - think of it as gambling...but you're guaranteed a win. :D :foot:
 
Dang it! Thought I had it wrapped up this time! :p

Good thing I feel a cold coming on! ;)
 
This could get ugly.

You guys are lucky I'm not in this; I have a fast mouse finger.
