This one is made from a blade i forged out of 1080.

It's been fully flat ground, and edge hardened. The blade has a satin finish, and the fittings were deeply etched and lightly buffed off to a satin finish.

The handle is stabilized buckeye burl, and the tang sets about 3"+ into the handle, and is pinned internally,as well as being filled solid with epoxy.

The wrought iron in this guard has a lot of grain, more than in most iv'e used.

The o.a.l of knife is 11 1/4'', the blade is 6 1/2 long from tip to plunge cut, and 1 7/16'' at the widest

The spine is a little over 1/8'' at the guard, and tapers toward the tip.


Price is $325DROP TO $295 , with sheath First i'll take get's it!!

thanks alot, and BTW

the guard pic kind of makes it look like the blade is poorly fitted into the guard, but it's not there are no gaps/voids, it's the etch in the wrought iron you see where they meet.
 
It's beautiful . That price is so reasonable for the work and material cost involved it is amazing . The wrought Iron guard just adds sooo much to it . I true collector's piece that can still do it's job when necessary . The buckeye burl is beautiful wood and really adds to it all . good job .
