Hello guys,
I've got this drop point hunter up for grabs here today. The blade is K390 heat treated to RC64 including LN cryo. If you're not familiar with this steel, it has outstanding edge retention that rivals steels like A11 and S110V. Because it's a high alloy steel it's going to be more difficult to sharpen than straight carbon steel.
The handle material is beautiful Nargusta burl that has been stabilized professionally by K&G and the guard is brass. If you want a knife that will cut and continue to cut this may be for you.
OAL: 8.5"
BLADE: 3.25" long, 1" wide. Belt finish to 400 grit and etched in FeCl. The grind is full flat with some convex behind the edge. The edge is down to 0.009" before sharpening.
STEEL: 0.10" K390 Tool steel heat treated to RC64.
HANDLE: K&G Stabilized Nargusta Burl, brass guard and black paper and natural canvas micarta spacers and brass pin.
SHEATH: Pouch style leather sheath included.
Price: $310 Shipped CONUS
international buyers welcome, shipping extra.
Paypal, checks or money orders accepted.
Post "I'll take it" here in this thread and then PM or email me for arrangements.
Comments/Questions/Critiques welcome.
Thanks for looking!
