Greeting everybody! Here’s a new handy little knife I just finished up. Hope you like it!
Steel is 3/32” x 1 1/8” in NitroV with professional BOS HT at 60/61.Hand sanded to 1200 grit for a refined satin finish. The edge was about .01” before sharpening , it balances just behind the spacer.
Dimensions:7” OAL, Tip to Scales 2 7/8”
Stainless bolsters with Birdseye Maple scales (backstory below) makeup the handle, accented with red fiber liners. Secured with mosaic pins. The handle is finished to 1200 grit and waxed.
The slender handle feels great in my average sized hand. The blade is nice and snug in the sheath.
Price is $170 to your US door, and of course your satisfaction is my only priority. Paypal, check or MO, and the price includes fees and free shipping in the US.
Thanks so much for looking and please feel free to ask anything here or via PM.

Backstory>in the early 90’s my brother brought home a copy of blade magazine and said we should make some knives. I didn’t know people even made knives, thought they came from the store! So we bought the minimum equipment and eventually found out about the AZ Knife Makers Guild (long defunct). They had shows in Mesa AZ and that’s where these scales came from. Sitting in a box for about 30 years. Well, life changes and knifemaking wasn’t a priority so I stopped until late 2016. I was cleaning out the garage and came across a couple of blades I decided to finish and got hooked into it again.
