Hi fellas - thanks for stopping by,

There's an old saying: "Nothing good happens after midnight." I designed this double hollow-ground mid-sized fighter to provide security on that walk back to the apartment from the subway, or to the car in the parking garage, but who says security can't be elegant? Sharpened clip on this one - I took the knife to 600 grit and then did a final machine buff with super fine scotchbrite belt - and of course, my old standby: stabilized Taliban leg bone scales, harvested from Sasquatch's lair. Hopefully, my number one QA Manager, Jack ONeill, will surely comment on the alignment of the O-1 etch on the tang - I used my jeweler's magnifying glasses just to make sure - so give her hell Jack! The buyer can choose either horizontal ride kydex (my recommendation for this application) or vertical leather sheath. The first "I'll take it" gets it. Asking $275 plus $15 shipping and insurance - Paypal preferred but I'll accept money orders. My Paypal account is tksteingass@frontier.com

Best regards,

TK

That looks like the best "O-1" etch I've ever seen. Perfectly centered. Beautiful knife, as usual.

Perfect looking knife at nice price! You definitely have my attention! I am so sad that knife laws here would make carrying it here illegal.
 
Wow, nice knife and very nice pictures also. Your grind lines are spot on.
 
Sleek and stabby TK, beautiful lines.
I'm fascinated by the rifle stock in the backround. Is that some of your work too?
 
TK - Another nice blade! Mine is getting its share of use. Your pics continue to look great and your ever present sense of humor adds to the sometime hum drum For Sale Section ( that said don't hang up knife making for comedy :) ) Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Bill: Thanks - yep that's one of my stocks - an English Walnut Contender Super -14 in 30-30. I design and build high end Thompson Center stock and pistol grip sets in presentation grade wood only - here's some examples. Beautiful, aren't they!?

sorry I'm late TK , but you know why . Man , the whole package looks great . O-1 Mark could not be better .

Now do not go cutting up those contender stocks for handle as you have done before . If you send them to me it will remove the temptation . I will take good care of them for you .
 
OK Fellas:

My number one QA Manager has given the OK, so feel free to purchase this knife. :thumbup:
 
Ben: It's a beauty and it's yours! Funny, I just made a nice leather sheath for it today. This knife is sold - thanks for all the nice comments folks.
