Full tang Leuku pattern bushie/wilderness knife.
OAL: 10 inches
Blade: 5.25 inches
Scale length: 4 3/8 inches.
Blade is 1.22 inches broad, .098 thick 15N20 steel. Full quench and temper with a final differential temper. Light filework pattern on the rear 2 inches of the spine. Blade profile is a traditional leuku with a slight dropped edge, sharpened back to within 1/8 of the rear. Scandivex grind- a lightly convexed scandi, allowing for easy edge maintenance with a strop. The penetrator tip at the very front is angled down slightly from the straight spine and makes drilling a bit easier. (It also saves the sheath.)
Blade and tang finished to 600 grit and blued with Brownell's Oxpho-Blue. Oxpho-Blue goes on with steel wool and is tolerant of oils, so a quick wipe of the blade is all that is needed for prep on touch up.
Scales are tan linen micarta, with stainless pins and lanyard tube. I generally am a fan of fat handles, but in this case decided to do a lower profile set of scales, so the handle is thinner than normal, but packs a lot lower profile under a coat.
Sheath is an Expedition style, the belt hanger is fully adjustable and removable for strap mounting. MOLLE clips will fit through the horizontal straps. Koyote Girl made.
Asking $175, SOLD
