Hate to let go of this one. It is one my prettier ones. I sanded the blade pretty fine. I don't remember exactly what grit, but I am guessing 1200

OAL: 8 3/4"
Blade Length: 4 1/4"
Blade Width Just In Front of Plunge Line: ~29/32"
Thickness: ~.094"
Bevel: Hand-filed flat.

G10 Liners
Stainless Pins
GFlex Epoxy
Wood Finish: Beeswax dripped on, excess scraped off with a credit card [my Honda Riders Club card, to be honest], then hand-burnished.
Sheath is partially lined, and triple-treated with Sno-Seal after assembly.

Issues: Please Read: This rig is not spectacularly perfect: The edge of the sheath is not square, and the underneath spine on the tang is kind of rough.

Process note: I rub on the sno seal, then stick it in an oven of about 120-140 degrees, to let it soak for 15 minutes or so, then repeat a couple more times. Then I burnish it with a soft cloth.

Asking $90, which includes Priority shipping in USA. No other destinations, please. First "I'll take it" gets it.

Yes, it's yours. Now let me see if I can PM you.

I'm not familiar with all the communication channels around here :-)

So just mail the check and make it payble to:

Anderson Orsburn
c/o D'Angelo Library
1121 E. 60th St.
Chicago, IL 60637

I will be expecting it by about Wednesday. Sound good?

THanks for all the kind words, everyone.
 
Anderson, I have a couple of blades, all of them are great! Sure there are some minor concerns with blades but if you hadn't mentioned them I would have never noticed them. You sir are doing some fine work especially at the price you are asking for them.
 
I think you will have a lot of success with more of this model. Especially at that price point! I will definately keep an eye out.

As long as people like it, I might as well make more.

I am with you on that. I love how I can get a wicked edge on A2.
