Another one of these is up for grabs again.

Tempered at 400 degrees for 1 hour, letting it air cool, then putting it in 1 more hour at 400. Blade was file tested for hardness. Very hard.

Handle is made of distressed Walnut and pinned with brass & epoxy. Sheath is hand stitched out of dark red gator hide.

Measurements:
Total Length: 11 ½ ", Blade Length=6 ½ ", Blade Width=2 ¾ ", Blade Thickness= 3/16"
Handle: Walnut, Handle Length: 5", Handle Width: 1 1/4" Guard: 2 7/8 long by 1/4"

Dropped to $185 which includes shipping & sheath, if shipped in the US. You can send through Paypal to ScorpionBows@mchsi.com or mail M/O to our address (see web site for address).

That sheath looks like it was made by a one armed blind idiot. The stiching is coming out in the pic of it on your side, and someone put the handle on upside down... Do you really think its worth $185???

totally inappropriate. don't like it, fine.

no need to belittle the man's work. this isn't the discussion area, it is the exchange.

If you don't have anything nice to say, then back away from the keyboard.

Archer, I like it. You're work is looking better with every post. :thumbup:

You must be an ex-wife or something. Seriously, you registered just to post this? Just a little immature don't you think?

I'll man up and say I have reported your post and hope action is taken accordingly.

I really enjoy the craftsmanship of the blade and the sheath. Great work!

The stitching is just a little long and the handle has the finger grooves set the right way.
Why would you jump on a guy's work like that?
Do you know him and just decided to make your first post a dig for some other reason?
I highly doubt you say anything similar to his or any one's face.
 
your kind of an ass.

If you were actually sorry you would edit your original post.

That was terribly rude and stupid. I'll never say anything like that again, please forgive me.

I agree with protourist. Let's just take the apology at face value and move on. Anything else is up to Archer Here.

Maybe. If he is, then it will become obvious and he'll get banned. If he's not, we can afford to give him the opportunity to be a contributing member of the forums.

I think it's easy for us to forget how different (better) the tone and atmosphere around here is from other online forums. The above example of behaviour is all but expected on some of them. Maybe he didn't know any better. I'm for giving him a chance, but- it isn't really my call.
 
Thanks guys. I just got on and saw this.

I’ll take the high road here, accept his apology and welcome him to our great forum. Take a look at some of my other knives I’ve posted here. You may like those better.
