Herron Inspired 52100 Hunter/Utility Blade

[Shaw Blades]

Here is a knife I recently finished. It is inspired by a George Herron pattern medium Bigby. I modified an actual pattern from George Herron's shop by making it a little more utilitarian (removing the guard and making it all one piece). The blade is 52100, triple quenched, triple tempered to 60 Rockwell hardness. The blade is flat ground with a convex edge sharpened on my Shapton glass stones (super sharp). It has a super fine scotchbrite finish. The handle is black canvas micarta with stainless corby bolts.

Blade is 3.5 inches (1/8 52100 stock, tapered tang)
Handle is 4.5 inches (black canvas micarta, stainless Corby bolts)

The knife comes with a right handed horizontal carry kydex sheath.

I'm asking $185, paypal preferred. I will also accept bitcoins (first knifemaker ever maybe?) That includes insured shipping to the continental United States. Please post here if you would like to purchase the knife and message me for payment details.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks guys. The bolt heads are mirror polished. My photography sucks.

This is my first sale listing on here. Time to see if the knifemaker membership is worth it.

The more I see this knife the more I like. I just don't have the money for it right now, but it's got a lot going for it. Ever since your blade for the bushcraft challenge I've liked your work. This one is really nice too, from the tapered tang to the very nicely sculpted handles (especially the beveled fronts up to the ricasso). And I love that you sharpen on stones to keep the edge from getting burnt.

Thanks a lot. I REALLY appreciate your comments. I thought it had a lot going for it too...

Oh well...
