Hard, thin, D2

[Nathan the Machinist]

Blade is 3 5/8" hollow ground, 7 3/8 OAL. $150

This knife has a high, very thin hollow grind (.010") . Almost like a straight razor (with a belly), so it is not a rough use knife, but it cuts like a laser beam.

It has a high quality HT with cryo that has been proven to perform. This knife tested at HRC 62.

304 stainless pins. Comes with a nice basic leather pouch sheath.

I take checks, cash and money orders. I'm now also taking PayPal.

Thanks for looking,
Nathan

That's a fine looking knife.

What's the handle material, Padauk?

You know what, I hate to admit it, but I don't remember anymore. I had what amounts to a sampler pack of some different woods that I tried out about a year ago when I made these scales. I didn't like the color these turned out (purple) so I stuck them on the shelf. A year later I looked at them and they had turned a real pretty dark red brown, so I decided to use them. My guess is they're something like purple heart or some kind of a rosewood, but I don't really know.

I usually use osage or micarta on this knife, but some folks had asked about some "pretty woods" and these scales were a result of that. *shrug*

Thanks,
Nathan

Since this was never marked as sold, can I call dibs?
