I have a new pattern for me available. It’s a small handy knife but still has a relatively full feeling handle. Here’s the specs:
Blade Steel: 3/32” 52100 heat treated by me in electric kiln with a scotchbrite belt finish on a flat grind.
Handle: Dark blue Richlite with copper tubes.
Measurements: Blade is just shy of 3” OAL is 6 1/8”. 2.75oz.

Price is $90USD by PayPal at ijmiller3567@gmail.com kydex sheath is included in price. A leather sheath can be made for additional $20. Carry options for sheaths can be discussed but pocket would be my choice for a small knife like this.

Thanks for looking!

Very useful knife. How do you like Richlite as a handle material? Durable? I learned that they are used as fret board on a guitar so should be very tough.
 
cbach8tw cbach8tw I just started using it so can’t comment on long term durability but it should be good to go as it’s essentially the same as paper micarta (recycled paper and phenolic resin). I really like the look too very subtle “grain” to it. It is indeed used for fretboards, and countertops which see a good amount of wear and tear. I also like the feel of it, seems a little more grippy when sanded to a finish that looks nice.
 
Very cool thanks. Good luck with the sale, this should make a good user. Would love to see a passaround of it. Appreciate your time.
 
@imill3567 - I'd love to get one this size to match another larger version of this I got from you. Let me know your process or we can discuss via email. Thanks!
