Hello everyone, I just finished this one up. I am very very happy with how this came out, I feel it is my best work to date. The handle is very smooth and comfortable in the hand, the blade shape is versatile and useful and the F&F is some of the best I have done so far.

Specs:

Blade: 5/32" 1095 @ 60Rc heat treated by Darrin Sanders
Handle: Cocobolo, black G10 and natural canvas micarta fastened with stainless corbies
Grind: Saber with swedge, polished convex edge
Finish: Blade bevels are scotchbrite belt finished while the flats are an acid etched forge finish. Handle was wet sanded with tung oil to 800 grit then given a final finish of Tru-Oil.
Sheath: Boltaron with leather dangler belt loop and boltaron keeper clip. Can be changed to left hand carry and is Large TekLok compatible.
The blade is 3.5", the OAL is 8.25"
This knife is 7.5oz, with the sheath it is 11.5oz.

Priced is $185 shipped, tracked and insured CONUS. If you want it shipped internationally then contact me. I take Paypal, check and money order. To buy, post "I'll take it" in this thread or email me. My paypal address is markellmtthw@aol.com.
I cover my knives with a lifetime common sense warranty with free sharpening.

Hey Matthew, I'll chime in. I think it is a very handsome knife. If I were in the market for this style, I'd give it close consideration. Nice lines.
Good luck with your sale.

Hey Matt, I understand your frustration Bro. I agree that this may be your best work to date. If I were a collector instead of a broke maker I'd snap it up. LOL Keep up the good work and your day will come. By the way I got your package today. I'll get em done ASAP.
 
Haha, you guys crack me up :D At least we're all in the same boat :p

Darrin, glad you got the package safely, one of those is my Maker's Challenge competition knife.

Thanks again guys!
