Hi Folks,
I call her the "Flaming Caramel Fighter" because that's what the stag handle reminds me of, Hot Caramel. Specs are as follows:
The 7 3/4" blade with sharpened clip, is hand forged from 1/4" thick 1075 bar stock. It has been edge quenched and hand sanded to 2500 grit and finished with 400 grit pull strokes.
The handle is genuine Sambar Stag, sanded to 400 grit, boiled in strong black tea and coffee grounds......(5 times)...air dried and then torched to bring out the beautiful yellow, cream, black and brown colors. It was then sealed, hand sanded to 2500 grit and polished.
The fittings are Nickel Silver and Brass. The guard and the pommel nut are in hand carved Nickel Silver. While the throat and the coined butt spacer are Brass. The Brass was recycled from a Mack Engine EUP Lifter Bore...Annealed, Hammered, Fitted and then patina aged with Liver of Sulfur, Ammonia and a propane torch. weighing just 12 oz, the O.A.L. is right at 12 3/4"
As always, The Fighter comes with a hand stitched, vegetable tanned leather sheath buy my father-in-law Paul. This sheath was lightly textured to match the stag texture.
Price is $675.00 $500.00 $470.00 $440.00 plus $15.00 Shipping anywhere in the lower 48...will ship elsewhere...with shipping charges commensurate.
Thanks for Your Time,
Bobby
