Technically you could say this is a matched set of stuorra niibi and unna niibaš (big knife and small knife)
I made these as a matched set, with piggyback options for the rig. I've done several piggyback sets for orders, never put one up on the block. The sheaths, having the traditional adjustable belt hangers and wrap around straps, can be hung together. his mode of carry works great.
Of course, they can be carried separately.
The larger one is a variation on my leukuchete- done with a full tang handle in the style of my bolochete blades.
Blade length is 12.25 inches with an overall length of 20.25 inches. Handle length inside the guard is 7.25 inches, giving an immense amount of grip adjustment space- including the much discussed two-handed anti-zombie mode
Steel is 1080 .127 thick, full quench and temper, then a differential draw down. Grind is a convexed scandi style, moderately steep for chopping, sharp enough for regular cutting chores. #425
Sheath is an Explorer model, with full adjustments and removability of the belt hanger strap.
(second knife follows these photos- )
Second knife is in my traditional leuku - wilderness model 1- pattern, with a half inch dropped edge. #426
Blade length on this is 5 3/8 inches with an overall length of a hair over 10 inches. 4.5 inches of grip space makes for a roomy handle.
Steel is 15N20, .120 thick, full quench and temper, with a differential temper for the spine. Forge finished, with a much finer convexed scandi grind.
(more data after photos)
Both knives are handles with ipe, having stainless pins and tubing. Handles on the larger are generous.
For the pair, as a set, price is $375 ,SOLD
thanks very much!
