Hello everyone,

This is my first knife I have posted for sale on here. I would be happy to answer any questions about myself or the knife.

This knife is one of my favorites! It is my Explorer model in 5/32" thick A2 heat treated to 58-59hRC.

It has a mirror polished Sabre ground blade with 4" convexed edge.

The handle is 4.25" long and has a low profile "coke bottle" shape. It has a black micarta bolster blue and black g10 spacers followed by dyed curly maple. Blue liners between the scale and tang. It is secured with stainless Corbys and lanyard tube

A hand stitched black leather belt sheath is included. I have right and left handed.

Price is $215 shipped CONUS

Thanks for looking! Please feel free to ask questions!

Very clean lines, keep up the good work and welcome. Where are you located now. Before you move? Could you make that knife in thinner stock like 3/32 or 1/8th? Depending on what materials you have. Or if only have the 5/32, can you distal taper the tang? Really nice handle shape.

Thank you!

Currently living near Chambersburg, PA.

I only have A2 in 5/32" but have some 1084 in 1/8. I have not tapered the tang on any of these smaller knives but will try it on the next batch. Haven't had much luck distally tapering. It sorta comes naturally on full flat ground blades but I have difficultly with it on these Sabre ground ones.
