I've been putting handles on knife blades for several years, and it's time to let some of them go. I don't claim to be a real knifemaker, but I think the workmanship is pretty good. If you get one and don't like it, just send it back for a refund.

Knife No. 9 is completely made by Hardedge Knives, and it's really a nice knife.

Here are some of them:

4, 5, 8, and 9 SOLD




  1. Russell Green River blade with micarta scales. 3" blade, 6 5/8" OAL. $35 30
  2. Custom made A2 semi-skinner blade by Gene Martin with rosewood scales and a red fiber liner. Link at http://customknife.com/index.php?cPath=6. 2 3/4" cutting edge, 7" OAL. $75 60
  3. O1 steel blade with Osage (I think) scales. 3" cutting edge, 6 1/2" OAL. Blade was made in US; I don't remember the maker. The wood is absolutely beautiful. $70 55
  4. Enzo O1 Elver blade with Dymondwood scales. Link at http://www.thompsonsknives.com/enzoelver.html. Sharpened to a zero edge. 3.35" blade, 7 .5" OAL. NB: Dymondwood or not, the scales have shrunk a little, leaving the tang slightly proud. $75 60 SOLD
  5. Lauri carbon steel blade with birdseye maple scales. Sharpened to a zero edge. 2 7/8" cutting edge, 7" OAL. The handle is finished with linseed oil and is buttery smooth. $60 45 SOLD
  6. Jantz Pattern 51 made in US D2 blade with micarta scales. 3" blade, 7 5/8" OAL. Feels great in the hand. Link at https://www.knifemaking.com/product-p/j5128.htm. $65 50
  7. Jantz Pattern 32 made in US D2 blade with Dymondwood scales. 3 1/8" blade, 7 5/8" OAL. Link at https://www.knifemaking.com/product-p/j3228.htm. $65 50
  8. Kellam blade with walnut scales. Link at https://www.kellamknives.com/index....d=1319&zenid=24bea36c1181a5b0acbd16ee73eb2f99. 3 5/8" near-mirror screaming-sharp zero edge. $50 40 SOLD
  9. Hardedge knife; completely made by Hardedge Knives. Differentially hardened 1095 steel blade with HRC 60 edge; cord wrapped handle. 2 5/8" edge, 7 1/8" OAL. $40. 35 SOLD
None of these have been used or carried; all of them have been sharpened to a razor edge. Only the Hardedge knife has a sheath.

Payment by PayPal; address is

Good eye, Tuskaloosa. I listed this incorrectly the first time. It's a Pattern 51 with a hollow grind.

I made a booboo on one of the knives in the pp notes....I said 6 instead of 9...so for 5,8 & 9 please:)

also, if you could wait to set up mailing them I would appreciate it. I am thinking of buying some of the others...just thinking about it...
