Alright guys, I'm getting close to being through all the blades with this thread (other than some damascus ones).
NONE OF THE BLADES in this thread are finish ground... but A and B are pretty darn close to that point.
A. sold
1084 forged, clay coated and quenched in Park #50 5-1/2" blade X 1" wide X 0.180" $40+ shipping
B. sold pf
1084 forged, clay coated and quenched in Park #50 4-1/4" blade X 1-1/16" wide X 0.148" at ricasso $35+shipping
C. sold and shipped
1084 forged and annealed 3-1/2" blade X 1-1/16" wide X 0.164" $10+shipping
D. sold and shipped
5-3/16" stock removal blade X 1" wide X 0.175" (fully hardened, surface ground, guard shoulders filed in) $35+shipping
Marker to show where hamon is in blade A

E. sold and shipped
ATS-34 11" OAL (6-1/8" blade) X 1" wide X 0.185" at ricasso. Hollow ground on 8" wheel, slightly tapered tang, vine filework on spine, heat treated by Paul Bos $45+shipping
F. ATS-34 (small bowie or large hunter) 10-1/8" OAL (5-3/4" blade) X 1" wide X 0.148" at ricasso. Flat ground, tapered tang, heat-treated by Paul Bos $45+shipping
G. 11" OAL (5-3/4" blade) X 15/16" wide X 0.230" at ricasso. Double hollow ground on 5" wheel, slightly tapered tang, heat treated by Paul Bos--- This blade is NOT ground perfect. I ground this blade about 13 years ago while teaching myself to grind daggers. While it's not perfect, it needs enough finish grinding that it could be ground dead nuts (which I could do now, I just really don't have the time to spend on it). $40+shipping
filework on spine of blade E
close-up of blade G- you can clearly see grinds aren't perfect, but they could be... and it would be good practice for somebody learning to double grind
H. sold and shipped 7-3/4" OAL (3-1/2" blade) X 13/16" wide X 0.140" at ricasso. Tapered tang, heat treated by Paul Bos. $30+shipping
I. 8-9/16" OAL (3-1/2" blade) X 1-1/8" wide X 0.153" at ricasso This is a blade style that I made for some customers about 15 years ago (it's pretty damn near a copy of an old Gerber blade that the initial customer brought to me). I had ground out a few extra but they never made it past profiling. They are surface ground, have holes drilled, and are ready for grinding. I can rough flat grind these for $10 each if you need that done. Or they are ready for you to practice on (both I and J are annealed). $25+ shipping
J. exactly the same as I. except it's O1 and 0.157' at ricasso $20+shipping
K. S30V 7-1/2" OAL (3" blade) X 11/16" wide X 0.140" at ricasso. Tapered tang, heat treated by Paul Bos. $60+shipping
L. sold pf
440C??? skinner.--- I DID NOT GRIND THIS BLADE--- it's a kit blade I purchased about 15 years ago from K&G 6-1/8" OAL (2-1/2" blade) X 1-1/4" wide X 0.158" at ricasso $5+shipping
M. sold and shipped
15N20 8-1/2" OAL (4" blade) X 1-1/16" wide X 0.092" thick--- hardened and ready to grind, but no bevels have been ground yet (did it that way because it's thin stock) $12+shipping
N. sold and shipped
8-3/4" OAL (3-7/8" blade) X 7/8" wide X 0.208" at ricasso. This was a prototype blade for a run of several blade blanks I did in the past. This piece is very thick for the size of blade...It is surface ground and drilled for just about any pin configuration, but has no bevels ground into it yet. $20+shipping
