John is not making anymore of these!

This one is sparingly used and is in very excellent condition.




Full disclosure - I have refinished the handle - cleaned and sharpened the blade.



HERE ARE THE SPECS -
• Hand forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched and etched
• 3 3/4" blade, 8 1/8" overall, .190" thick at the ricasso w/ full distal taper
• Rounded spine and ricasso edge for comfort
• Filed, rounded thumb grip
• Damascus fluted collars with damascus coined spacer
• Premium Curly Hard Maple handle, stained black (now with lighter highlights) and oil finished
• Damascus Bolt cover

THE SHEATH - Black lined and hand tooled sheath, custom made for this knife by master sheath maker Claude Scott. Set up for right side carry with just a bit of lean off vertical to bring the butt of the knife forward.

Exquisite Doyle Details






A Blade Blemish A bit of rust, I think, that I have cleaned out. This is a shallow fine icepick tip sized blemish enhanced by the lens to fully detail. This is the only flaw on this otherwise pristine knife.



ASKING - RELISTED. Pay Pal goods please.

Would consider a trade for the right Thorburn or other custom IKBS flipper - NOT ALL TI and not overly embellished. An L51 could be perfect.

Thanks for looking.
