Hi all. I've got a couple new ones I'd like to offer up for sale. These are my first of new models in flat grind. I probably will be doing all flat grinding from now on, BTW. Previous, hollow grind blades were done as collaborations between Ted Frizzell and myself (Ted doing the grinding). These are both made solely by myself, with the exception of heat treat, which was done by Lee Oates.

First up is the Zanshin:

Blade length: 7.5 inches
Total length: 12.75 inches
Differentially tempered 5160

Epoxy soaked handle wrap over faux tortoise shell scales. Heat colored copper guard. Mild steel bolsters with copper/steel pins. Satin finish. Leather scabbard.

Next one is called the Wendigo:

Blade length: 10 inches
Total length: 16 inches
Differentially tempered 5160

Full flat grind fighter style bowie. Arizona Ironwood and black paper Micarta handles. Satin finish. Copper/steel pins. Leather high-ride sheath.

Hi John, Your Zanshin is one gret looking kn ife. I would just like to know, how thick is the 5160 blade? Thanks for your time, Charley.

Hi Charley. Starting thickness was .25" stock, but surface grinding sheared that down a bit. On the blade, where the 2 grinds meet (thickest area) is about .2".
