Knife Maker's Comments and Description:
I've been a knife maker for 34 years. I focus on edc style knives and they are meant to be used. No frills, very sharp, holds a great edge, easy to field sharpen. All my knives are sent sharp so the buyer is responsible for his/her safety. Handles might have some a slight variance in thickness which does not make a knife unsafe.
This knife was forged and then hand filed for a total of 22 degrees bevel angle and then lightly convexed. I forge all knives in a three step process of forged, refine the profile, followed by two more refinement filing and forgings. The knife is normalized following each step. I quench in Canola Oil with three interrupted quenches of one second, two seconds and three seconds to refine the grain of the steel and reduce thermal shock. This is followed with three complete edge quenches. After quenching the knife is placed in a temperature controlled oven for 3 one hour tempering cycles. There might be file marks, scratches, and forging marks on the blade.
Knife is new, not used, carried or sharpened. No sheath. Price $70.00 via PayPal includes domestic shipping. No trades or international shipping. If interested post to this thread, then PM/email to make arrangements for payment thru PayPal (include details in the comments section). I am not online for long durations, but will check in with BF at least once daily.
