This drop point knife is 3/32 thick and made of 1095 high carbon steel. The blade length is 4.4 inches long, 1.25 inches wide and an overall length of 9 inches. It is differentially heat treat achieving an edge hardness of about Rc 60 and draw the point back to about Rc55 for higher toughness. The spine is left at a lower hardness for maximum strength. The blade is flat-semi convex ground to a thin edge with a final convex edge brought to a razor edge which makes this one wicked slicer. The blade finish is bright satin steel with a simple hamon.
The scales of this knife are fiddleback walnut and bolted with stainless steel screws and round brass nuts, Loveless style, to the knives full tang with a brass tube thong hole. I feel bolts provide greater strength and durability than pins.
The tooled pouch sheath is heavy 8/9 ounce leather.
SOLD Price Reduced to $80 shipped in US
I prefer PayPal (my account is kelley_ward2@agilent.com) but take other forms of payment.
