Every now and then a knifemaker comes up with an idea where everything just seems to naturally come together.

This is one of those knives. Heavy Burl Ironwood. 100% pure bronze bolsters. The bolsters have been countoured so that there is a "Lip" on the edges, near the ricasso. It almost looks like a custom fit guard (Well I guess it is actually), but they are bolsters, shaped to a new idea that seemed to work out well.

Feels good in hand, that "Lip" on top the bolsters holds your grip downward and prevents the hand from slipping over the blade......which would of course be terrible :eek:. I'm always leary of knives that have little protection from finger grip/cutting edge. To each their own, please check out my new style.

Blade Length: 6"
Overall Length: 11.5"
Blade Steel: D2 High Speed Industrial Tool Steel (13% Pure Chrome, 1.5% high carbon)
Bolster material: 100% Pure Bronze (Brass peening pins. Try buying some pure bronze sometime, it isn't cheap.)
Handle material: Desert Ironwood burl
Pin Material: Mosaic Pins (#16 pins in each mosaic) Brass "liner" pins

I put extra time into the final finish on this special piece.

Like all my knives, this sucker's sharp. Gods TRUTH-I Cut through a 8" Rawhide bone last night with this blade, so both my dogs could get a piece. THEY WANTED TO COME GET SOME!!! So should you ....cheers everyone, have a great weekend. I will be OUT OF TOWN for the next few days, but will be checking my email on yahoo.

Dovetailed bolsters, tight fitting.

Price for this item is $190.00 Sheath is 15 bucks extra. Free shipping in 48 CONUS.

PM me if you get the notion. Payments or emails can be made to: HeelBadBoy@yahoo.com

Thanks guys. Maybe you're right....ok the knife is now $2,000.00! Just kidding. Same price, psyche'

I really appreciate it Bill & Alan. Many a times I've been dazzled & amazed @ what you two do, Sirs...
 
Brother you just keep getting better and better -- that's a sweet looking blade right there.
 
Kiam, I think this is my favorite from you so far. Guess I'm a sucker for Ironwood. Well done.

^ 5 Darrin, thank you. Thank you Erik, ^ 5. A Host of Friends, I really appreciate it fellas. Expect the Best when you're dealing w/ my Host of Friends :)

We are motivated & dedicated to this fine old world craft. Part of my motivation w/ this was you never see enough brass/wood knives anymore. My first knife was given to me when I was 6 from my father. It was a brass bolstered & wooden handled folder. I really admire oldschool memorabilia, this was my effort to return back to some of that.

Thank you Gentlemen, much respect.
 
Hello,

That is one of the best deals Ive seen on a blade in a loooooooong time. Great knife for a great price!!!!!!

Good work sir,

Chris
 
Good score! I sure like the looks of this one, prolly good thing it's gone, elsewise my new cadet son might have had to gone without something when he reports to The Citadel in 5 weeks or so!
 
I thank you, this was a very special knife. Should see some more in the future.

You fellas certainly have been inspiring. I thank you.

Special BAD BOY Huu'Rah!
