This is good neck knife size but some might argue it's a bit heavy however I think everyone will agree it'll make a great every day carry.

SPECS:

Forged 3/16 inch thick 1095 steel differentially heat treated with edge at 59-60 Rc, tip at approximately 55Rc and spine in high 40s Rc.

Handle is Rosewood pinned to the knives full tang with glass breaker and lanyard hole.

Blade Length is 2.8 inches from tip to guard with forged and hammer marked rustic finish with file worked along the spine.

Overall Length is approximately 6.2 inches

Sheath is tooled brown leather pouch sheath made from a heavy 8/9 leather.

SOLD: Price $65 shipped anywhere in US

I prefer PayPal (my account is kelley_ward2@agilent.com) but also take major credit cards, money orders and checks.
Thanks,
Kelley Ward

I think that uneven gring (I'm guessing from the heat-treat?) is sexy

I don't know the maker, nor his response. I'll only add from personal experience that sometimes I'll go heavy on the hammer and forge the primary bevels (beyond what I would normally do for a clean grind) to keep some hammer marks in it. Sometimes scandi grinds only look that way, but the bevels are forged in to a large degree as well. His appears to be the same way.

That price is a steal in all honesty. My guess is that something didn't sit right cosmetically with the maker and he's unloading it for far less than he should because of that. I think it's ironic how critical a maker will be of their own work, yet fairly permissive when viewing other makers work. And your sheath, your sheath is worth at least half what you're asking for the whole shebang. If I didn't have so many true EDC knives, I'd buy it. This is made to be used, plain and simple. That's got enough belly to be a great skinner IMHO.
 
Hello and thank you all. tss1004 is spot on. I forge the blade enough to refine the grain structure in the edge but I'm not trying to get the forge finish really close. In fact I'll intensionally create hammer marks in the grind line region to give the uneven final line. Kelley
