Hi fellas:
When I hunt large tracts of wildnerness, I carry two knives - one like this for shelter/survival and a hunter. The wood in this camp knife is one of my favorites - crotch flame figure in the unpigmented wood that sunbursts into marblecake. I had the scales stabilized by K&G. The blade was hand-rubbed to 2000 grit and lightly etched - the hamon resembles a sawtooth pattern and has ghosting throughout for a very nice presentation. The knife was made forward heavy for hard use - the full flat grinds end in robust 25 degree bevels.....this will serve you well as a chopper. The pinned guard has a soldered cobalt drill bit rather than a 1/8" pin - this added feature surely was unintentional and is provided at no extra charge.
I haven't made the sheath yet so the buyer can specify right or left hand. I hope you all like it! The first "I'll take it" gets it. $325 plus $18 shipping. Paypal payment preferred to my account tksteingass@frontier.com and I accept USPS money orders or checks. International sales welcome, however, I will not be able to purchase insurance. Maker's lifetime common sense warranty and free sharpening.
Best regards,
