THIS IS NOW OBO....I NEED THIS GONE.Hello all,
Here today I have a hunter in 5160. This blade I had for sale and during that time I noticed that there is a small hairline crack (cosmetic)along the blade that runs parallel to the edge and spine. I have since put this blade through its paced to see if the crack will worsen and I can not make it any worse. I batoned it through some knotty old wood with no affect to the edge, drilled holes with the tip and waked a 2x4 a bunch and I can not get the little hairline crack to worsen so I am now discounting the blade down pretty low in hopes of selling. You can actually see the crack in the third pic. It is in the first third of the blade right in the middle.
And here are her specs:
4.25" 5160 with a shallow convex grind, 3x normalized, 3x quenched and 3x tempered at 400 deg. F. For a nasty sharp edge. There is an interesting double temper line, one bisecting the blade and one right at the top of the blade where the guard meets the steel.
4.75" curley walnut handle finished with 5 coats of tru oil to show off the chatoyance and brass guard. The handle has a coke bottle shape to it that fits the hand nicely left or right.
I do not have a sheath for this one due to the low price but any good pouch sheath for a 4" blade will work
I am asking$100.00 OBO shipped in the 50 U.S. international is extra.
Thanks,
Andrew
