Gentlemen,
I have a really nice hunter up for sale today. The steel is M398 which is made by Bohler and is very high wear resistant steel. It's going to have edge retention somewhere in between S90V and S125V. The trade off is in lower toughness. This one was designed to be a slicer, so think bird and trout or field dressing knife.
The handle material is rare Rambutan Burl that was stabilized by K&G. It very unique figure and spalting. I only have one more block of this stuff and I may never see it again. The guard is layered carbon fiber with the middle section glow in the dark.
SPECS:
OAL: 8.0"
BLADE: 3.0" long, 1.0" wide. It has been belt finished to 400 grit. The grind is hybrid flat/convex which is down to 0.009" before sharpening.
STEEL: 0.10" M398 stainless steel heat treated to RC62.
HANDLE: K&G stabilized Rambutan Burl with carbon fiber guard. (The middle section glows purple in the dark) The spacers are black and white G10 and the pin is black micarta.
SHEATH: Pouch style leather
PRICE: $405
Shipped USPS in the CONUS international buyers welcome, shipping extra.
Paypal, checks or money orders accepted.
Post "I'll take it" here in this thread and then PM or email me for arrangements. I have this posted on Instagram as well.
Comments/Questions/Critiques welcome.
Thanks for looking!
