Hi fellas, thanks for stopping by,
I think the New York Special is a fine self defense knife for a wife or daughter. The sheath fits nicely in a purse or back pocket and the knife is easily removed with a flick of the snap. The handle lends itself to a smaller hand and there's immediate use with no messing around with thumb studs or assists. I made this true to form to the original seven New York Specials made by Bob Loveless with this type sheath and the handle snap retention which he abandoned on later models. This model has a set of killer Desert Ironwood burl scales. I hope you like it! The first "I'll take it" , PM or email gets it. Asking $350 plus $15 shipping - Paypal preferred to my account at tksteingass@frontier.com and I'll accept postal money orders. Maker's lifetime common sense warranty and free sharpening. I can sharpen the clip at the buyer's request.
3/16" CPM-154 stock
HT to Rc 60-61
7 3/8" OAL
3 1/4" Blade
Hand rubbed 600 grit satin finish
Presentation Desert Ironwood Burl scales
Red liners on tapered tang
416 Stainless steel furniture
Soldered guard
8/9 oz Loveless style snap sheath
