Hello Folks, This is one of my new designs and is the 3rd one of these I have built. It has a great feel. It is finely finished but made to be used. This would be a great EDC. It is not threatening looking and carries nice with this sheath. imho. Of course I think it would be a great gift for ones self or a friend. Hope you like.
Blade is CPM 154 .141 thick and 3.125 tip to guard. O/A is 7.5. Heat treated with cryo quench and double tempered. Tapered and hollow ground tang. All grinding is free hand. No file guides or gigs. A lot of the old farts did it that way so I guess I am just another old fart. Nothing wrong with using jigs of course.
Bolsters are dovetailed CF held tight with .092 bronze welding rod. Bolsters are also ground free hand against flat platten without angle support. Have done it like this for 20 years. One day I will have a disc sander with angle support for this. lol. NOT a scratch behind bolster pin.
Handle is linen maroon micarta held with 416 corby rivets brass lanyard and red liners.
Sheath is hand stitched 8-9 ounce leather. I use sole leather for the Loveless cam idea. The point of the guard slides over this cam and clicks into place and is held very secure yet is easy to withdraw.
Asking $365.00 shipped in the USA. paypal is warrensustomknives@yahoo.com
Thank you all for having a look. Much appreciated. Alan
