Large Fillet Knife

[Mike Turner]

Here is a large fillet knife that was finished a little while ago, it was made for a customer but before I got it finished his wife called and told me that he has a bad liver and is very ill. She requested to cancel the order I told her I would and our prayers were with them and I finished anyway, I will put this up for sale no sheath was made as the customer had a sheath already that he wanted to use.

This knife has an ATS-34 blade heat treated, cryo quenched and tempered to rc58, heat treat was done by my good friend Gene Martin. Blade is 1 1/8" wide by 8" long by 3/32" thick. handle is brown canvas micarta with stainless steel pins. Overall length is 13". Blade has a 400 grit machine finish.

Thanks xaman, this was to replace a knife that he just bought and said he paid $150 for and would not hold an edge. So this knife was made to look similar to that one as he wanted to use his brand new sheath.
