Greetings all,

A while back I purchased 2 exceptional little utility knives from Dave Kelly with the intention putting both to use. My intentions were only half-realized, as the smaller of the two has been cutting up a storm as my desk knife, but the larger one has never seen the light of day.

So I'm making it available to someone who might give it a chance to do what it was made to do. Here are the specs:

* dimensions - 8.5" o.a.l. with clay quenched/polished 3.5" blade
* blade steel - 1095 with "ghost riders" hamon.
* handle - Ebony with Spalted Tamarind overlay on a full tapered tang.
* Sheath - black shark overlay sheath with 6-7 oz. steer hide core, gold dyed deerskin lining with roll top.

Ask Paul Long and he'll tell you Dave's sheaths are every bit as good as his.

Now the pics:

Those who know Dave's work know of his attention to detail. Witness the tiny ebony plugs that cover the pins.

This is a super nice little knife that you can be proud to own, but not so pricey that you will be afraid to use it. And don't let the pics fool you about the size - check the dimensions - this is NOT a tiny little 3-finger knife.

Yours for US$OLD, inclusive of shipping and Paypal if you are in the US or Canada. International shipping at cost (and it's pricey).

Happy to answer any questions, but the first "I'll take it" by e-mail or PM will get this neat knife.

Thans for looking.

Roger

AHH! I missed both your knives! I should have pulled the trigger on this earlier like I almost did.
