Hello everyone , do not usually see a fix hawkbill on this forum so I thought I would give one a try . I was paying so much attention to getting this just right that I missed an oops . At the beginning of the plunge grind on the edge I missed getting both sides perfectly equal , asking price will reflect that and you can see it in the pic showing the liners .
Now lets get to it , this was hollow ground from oversized 5/32 , A-2 tool steel bar stock . I did a used 240 grit satin finish on the flats parallel with the blade , while the hollow has a fine scotch bright satin finish perpendicular to the blade . It has been heat treated to an Rc. 61
O.A.L. is 7"
Blade - tip to handle is 3-1/4" , the working edge is at 2-7/8" , 1-1/4" wide at the finger guard .
Handle is India Sambar Stag , with red liners and nickle silver pins . There is a small surface crack on one of the scales but it is going no where . I have sealed the whole handle with ca. glue .
Sheath is 9 oz. belt carry , right or left hand .
My PP is sandlot@charter.net
Thank you for viewing my offerings .
