Madagascar Rosewood

[Von Hagen Knives]

Because of an e-bay mix up, this one just got relisted. Check it out
This is one of my listings on e-bay (bladenknives).

This BUSH STYLE BLADE is made of 5/32" thick 01 TOOL STEEL bar stock. Each Von Hagen knife blade has been Rockwell Hardness Tested and has been tempered and bench tested to assure the perfect hardness -- not too hard as to chip but not too soft as not to be able to hold an edge. The FULL TAPERED TANG knife is 9" long. The 4 1/4" blade has a FLAT GRIND. The BLACK VULCANIZED SPACER adds a nice highlight to the MADAGASCAR ROSEWOOD HANDLE.

Because the handle is pinless, there is nothing to distract from the beautiful patterns in the wood. The handle is securely held in place with three (3) anchors, at 3/8" each, that have been milled and keywayed. This, along with the epoxy that bonds tight and causes a fusion, will assure that the handle will not come loose or break apart with normal, everyday use.

Thanks for looking,
Rick

Another great looking piece of wood on probably my favorite of your knife designs.

Thanks Kieth. I was very lucky with this piece of wood. It has it ALL. Lots of color, a hint of rose, very light spalt lines... It is a vey distinct piece.
Thanks for the kind words.

It is back up on e-bay this week. E-bay messed something up last week and I wasn't able to sell it.
