HAD A DEADBEAT BUYER SO REPOSTING!
I bought this from Burt Foster in 2009 (MS Knife) and it may be the nicest Blue Collar he ever made. Here is his description and picture from his Website and my pics of knife. New/Perfect/Untouched! (There was a second knife in his photo which I badly cut out of picture. Knife is knife shown!)
The knife is stabilized spalted maple. The wood on the knife came from a very old maple tree that died next to the first Roman Catholic church built in Bristol Virginia in 1865. When the tree was cut down a few years ago, I took some of the more interesting sections of the tree, dried them, and recently had some of them stabilized. The wood has a lot of stuff going on, from black line spalt to curly areas, burl, and variations in color.
Knife comes with a standard blue collar pouch sheath like the one shown.
7.5" OAL / 3.5" Blade (I believe forged 1095 but he did switch to 01 at some point. Knife is MS2009 according to his stamp on blade.)
$PF DELIVERED - Payment by postal or major bank money order only WITHIN ONE WEEK! Delivered Insured Priority Mail to CONUS (USA) address only.
There is information on Burt's Website about the evolution of the blue collar. This one I believe is forged 1095.
Here is link to some laminated ones he is selling and info about steels used.

First "I'LL TAKE IT" gets it! (MY FAT LAZY CAT IN BACKGROUND IS NOT INCLUDED!)
