Deal Terms: USPS MO or Paypal (add 3.7%, no gifts). Shipping is included within CONUS. No international sales at this time, please (If I know you, and you are in good standing on the forums, I can choose to break my own rules at my discretion). No trades please....cash is king. First to post "I'll take it", followed up by PM gets first dibs.

First up is a fantastic Arete model. I bought this Arete from Andy about 3 months ago, so I could compare it to my current knives. The Arete handle is a bit short for me, so I've decided to send her off to a new home in favor of the Bushfinger. This Arete has not been used, but I cannot list it as new since I did spend some time stropping it to try and remove a burr from the edge that it came with. She is sharp, but could use some more love on the strop. I have placed a light coating of mineral oil on the blade to protect it.

Scandi grind on 1/8" O1 Steel. The scales are Black Micarta on Black Micarta, with an Orange Liner in-between. The blade spear-point design is phenomenal, and very utilitarian. Andy's 3-D Spalting really pops on this one...Looks amazing!!

The sheath was custom made by Rainwalker. I have several knives from Andy in this color pattern, and Jeff went with a bit of a "Walking Dead" theme on the sheath coloring to compliment the Black / Orange handles of the Fiddlebacks. It really works well together! The design is superb...bushcraft style with adjustable vertical strap and also capable of horizontal wear. I also had Jeff add a Firesteel loop as well. A true work of art, befitting the Arete!!

I am looking for $250 Shipped CONUS. Paypal today, ships tomorrow. This combo is a steal...knife alone is $220, sheath is another $75

Dimensions??

Apologies...I had forgotten dimensions. Taken from Andy's descriptions page:

The Arete is a spearpoint bushcrafting knife. Its got a blade just a smidge shy of 4" long, and a handle that is 4.5" long.

The specs on the Terrasaur are: 9" OAL, with a 4 1/8" blade.
