This is my second completed knife. I've been interested in knifemaking pretty much my whole life. I'm retired from the Army and carried and used a myriad of knives throughout my career. Last December, I decided to start making knives. I'm not the type to do anything half way. Rather than turn out a bunch of lower quality blades while starting out, I have spent the last eight months studying, asking questions, and practicing techniques. I have probably ground 50+ blades. In June, I spent a week with famed knifemaker, Johnny Stout. His mentorship really helped pull everything together.

This knife is heading over to Jack Andress this evening to get a leather sheath made. I will have it back within a week. If the knife sells in the next 24 hours, the buyer can specify left or right side carry. Otherwise the sheath will be right side. Price with sheath, domestic shipping, and insurance is $325. I prefer Paypal and can send an invoice if you do not have a Paypal account. First to say "I'll take it", gets it.

Thanks for your time,

Bob
