This one is forged out of a bar of 5160. I flare out the handle and create a socket handle so the whole knife is one solid piece of steel. The blade has been ground to 600-800 grit, and then aged to provide a nice durable finish. This a great user knife, and will not scratch up or mar the finish.
The handle is socket handle that is wrapped in paracord and soaked in epoxy. I also tied turks head knots on the front and back of the handle. This provides a durable, comfortable grip.
The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. It holds the knife well and draws easily.
Dimensions
Blade - 8" tip to handle
OAL - 14"
Price - $200 shipped to US. I will ship internationally for an additional fee.
I have this posted elsewhere so the first timestamp saying "I'll take it!" gets it.
