This is a Small Slip-Joint Folding Knife with a 2-3/8 flat ground blade. Blade has been differentially hardened with a clay coating resulting in a fully hardened edge, softer spine and a visible Hamon - transition line between hard and softer steel. Belt satin finish with a French Grey treatment. Blade and spring are of 3/32 W2 steel.
The handle is beautiful Red Deer Horn from Yucatan that I process myself. Closed length - 3.5 including the lanyard loop. Nickel Silver liners, pins and file-worked bolsters. Silver 1925 ten-centavo escutcheon. Spine of blade with thumb grooves and geometric file-work. Handmade leather pocket sheath. $350 (SOLD) (including FedEx economical insured to US, Canada or Mexico. $15 extra to most of EU. By quote elsewhere)
If you'd like, I can engrave up to three initials in the Coin Silver Escutcheon for an additional $25
The knife opens with a medium-easy pull and can be pinched open. Backspring is flush open and closed and has no half-stop. Supplied shaving sharp.
The French Grey finish offers some stain resistance to the W2 carbon steel, but the knife should be kept well oiled or waxed.
I am a full time knifemaker working in Merida, Yucatan Mexico. I ship knives internationally on a regular basis via FedEx. I accept Paypal and credit cards.
I use almost exclusively local handle materials that I gather and mill or process myself. Dense tropical hardwoods as well as wild and ranched deer, cow, bull and water buffalo horns.
The silver escutcheons are made from old Mexican silver coins and are pinned through the liners. You can still see some of the surface irregularities of the coins. All of the pins are nickel silver and are hammered over and left slightly proud of the handle. The decorative file work and carving are precise and carefully done, but you can also see that it was done by hand I dont sand or polish the file-cuts.
