This is a different take from my normal approach to Leuku style knives.

Overall this is 12 1/2 inches long, with a 7/32 thickness through the tang. The blade, of 5160, is full convex ground with a light distal taper. 1 1/2 inches broad, the blade measures 6 1/4 inches.

Grind is a full convex with a slight reverse near the top to maintain the index finger balance. Finish is 800 grit, hand rubbed.

Handle is burgundy linen micarta with 416 stainless tubing pins. Handle is shaped to form an integral guard at the front, but leaves a very long, fat, and secure 5 inches of interior (bottom) handle length.

This is a matched style knife to the Slim Finn I've posted also today-

Sheath is an explorer model, rigged ro RH carry, but adjustable for LH. Carry height and style is adjustable with removable and adjustable belt hanger.

This is NOT a light knife.

Asking $225, with $10.00 for insured shipping in the US. SOLD PF

thanks for looking!

I usually do them 3/32 or 1/8, this one is definitely closer to full on pigsticking weight, but makes for a dandy small chopper and as a bushtool for dealing with wood you can't beat the grind style :D
 
Christof makes a good knife . Well thought out designs, and good materials. Maybe be some 52100 one day

52100, O1, and D2 are on the request list for when I expend a bit after the move. Getting a kiln set up will sure help :D
