I've had this sitting in the drawer for a while, so I've decided to list it for sale. It has a flat ground hand rubbed blade in an unknown steel. Stunning ironwood handles, mosaic pins, copper (or maybe brass) bolster, and red liners. Both the sheath and knife are incredibly well made. The sheath has been distressed to appear used, but I believe both are very close to new. There are some very faint scratches on the blade.

I'm asking $150 or best offer. No trades.

OAL - 10.25"
Blade length - 5.875"
Handle length - 4.375"

May I ask where you picked this up, because I once owned this and actually made the sheath for it.

No kidding? I found it at an antique mall in west Texas.

Do you happen to know the steel of the blade?

I’ve seen some of his work in 154cm come up before. If it’s stainless it’s most likely that. Beautiful piece and a bargain. Hope that helps.

Original sales thread where I got it said it was 154cm.

The spine is about .125" at the bolster and as Methuselah pointed out, it does have a distal taper.
