Need to move this one out of my collection. $210 including shipping.
Dimensions - 1/8” x 11 1/2” OAL and 1 3/8” tall – 6 5/8” from tip to guard. Pro HT to 60,61 by Paul Bos (great folks over there BTW). – Hand sanded to 600 grit for a satin finish. Edge before sharpening was .010” or so, it is QUITE sharp. It balances on the guard. The swedge also around .010 and could easily be apexed.
The handle is K&G stabilized Japanese Privet, with a scalloped stainless guard and black Micarta/Orange G10 spacers. The handle is sanded to 1200 grit and finished with carnauba wax. The handle feels great in my average size hand. The “Bighorn” sheath is makes it easy to deploy with great retention.
There appears to be a very faint auto-hamon, more visible on the left side than the right. There is the tiniest wave in the edge, barely visible on the right side, but not the left.
