A few years ago Bob was offering a "kit knife" (might still be making them).
I placed an order in 2008 for one, forgot about it, received a call earlier this year indicating that it was ready.
I pretty much learned to hollow grind in the time that I was waiting (but I didn't want to be one of those customers who cancels orders -as I know a lot of hard work goes into making a knife) -so I paid $150 for it.
It arrived ground, heat treated and had the scales attached. I shaped the scales and made a vertical carry kydex sheath for it. I also modified the guard as it originally had a more square looking section towards the blade.
Aside from a few scratches in the blade from the kydex sheath, and 3 marks from my Rockwell tester (tested at HRC 62) on the other side, this knife would work very well for a deer hunter.
The knife takes and holds an excellent edge:
Specifications:
Blade Length: 3-1/8" (from tip to top of scales)
Blade Width: 1-1/16" (at the ricasso)
Overall Length: 7-1/2"
Stock Thickness: 3/16"
Handle: Black linen micarta with aluminum corby bolts
Comes with a vertical carry kydex sheath
Price: $175 (Includes shipping in conus. International buyers, please contact me for shipping quotes)
First "I'll take it" is the owner.
Thanks for looking. :thumbup:
