KNIFE IS NOW SOLD.
Offered for sale is a terrific fighter / bowie by one exceptionally talented bladesmith: Stuart Branson.
This knife has character in spades - a wonderful blend of textures and materials.
Details as provided by Stuart:
The blade is W2, 9 7/8" guard to tip with a sharpened clip. (hence the fighter)
It's quite thick at .284 at the guard with a distal taper that puts the balance point right at the plunge.
The spacers are bronze with wrought iron ferrule and butt capp, the guard being forged from an old chain saw bar.
The handle is white oak that I aged heavily. The OAL is about 15 3/8"
As you can see, the knife comes complete with a sheath that is a work of art unto itself and perfectly complements in the impressive blade.
Great shot here of the insane hamon:
Price is US$850 which is inclusive of Paypal (vastly preferred) and trackable shipping within Canada and the US.
International shipping is available to an established forum member but it will be at additional cost and it is not cheap.
I'll be happy to answer questions by PM or e-mail at pinnocr@hotmail.com but the first "I'll take it!" gets it.
Thanks for looking and reading.
