Let me first start off by saying this isn't my usual highly finished piece hence the price, this is large Kukri i forged from a piece of rail track so similar to 1080 steel. It features an 18 inch blade that's 1/4" thick and 2 1/2" at its widest point. Blade is oven heat treated and tempered to 56 Rockwell. I made the bolsters form the same rail track steel and riveted them on with 2 3/16" steel rivets. The blade was finished by bead blasting and then cold bluing. The handle was made from ash epoxied in place with 3 1/4" steel pins and gave an aged look by charring and a dark stain, comes with a nylon sheath. Total weight is 3lbs 5oz, price is $150 includes shipping.

Hey fellas, my apologies and also to cardman cardman I was just messing around about the Pre-order. It was just a jestful comment because it got snagged so fast and was such a nice piece of work and would have been nice to see more of them.
So sorry for any inconvenience and confusion. 😅
