Before to offer you something for sale, a few words about the way I work.
First, almost never check the hardness of the blades made of me. Make samples only when buy new steel. I work with digital high precision oven and as adhere the requirements of hardening and tempering, so the results are according to the manufacturer's specifications. This is one of reasons to prefer laminates.
Second. I do not like too high hardness. For example, Silver steel can be left to 63 HRC, but I prefer to be no more 61.
Third - all my blades are zone hardened. Use a special recipe for the clay. Coat thick the back of the blades. I do not like broken blades. No matter whos the fault is. When I last tried a monolit knife of Silver steel the result was 61-62 cutting edge and 37-38 HRC - back side. For me it is satisfactory. For the same reason, when I forge laminates, damascus is of not hardenable steels.
If written above suits you:
№ 1. - "Shorty".
66 lairs damascus. For cutting edge is laminated 52 100. Zone hardened. Approximately 60-61 HRC after tempering. Slight convex. Sharpened. You can shave with it, but I do not recommend it, unless you are follower of Crocodile Dundee.
Handle ebony, pins.
The prize is 300 $ including shipping.
№ 1. goes to the first "I'll take it".
Paypal only please But, I expect the completion of the last formalities with PayPal, so payment option will be tomorrow or the day after. When I'm ready, I will give an email address for this purpose.
One more thing. I checked mode of dispatch. From here to the United States 10-12 days .... But only for seven days to the moon. Sorry.
Comments and criticism welcome! Thanks for looking.
