I'll withdraw this one 4-2. I need to beef up my inventory at a rural RV resort store that showcases my knives and they are sold out.
Greetings fellow knifeknuts! Here’s a new model for me I’m calling the Kaibab Kommando (because I can that’s why!
The Kaibab Plateau is north of the Grand Canyon, a very isolated region with limited accessibility (real mountain man country).
80CRV2 - Dimensions - .13” x 12 9/16” OAL and 7 9/16” from tip to guard and the height is 1 7/16”. There’s even filework on the spine for a little fancy flare! Hand sanded to 1200 grit for a clean satin finish. Paul Bos Heat Treat to 60/61. Balance is on the ricasso and the edge was about .015. The spine is well rounded for a comfortable thumb and the thin swedge can be sharpened.
The handle features a sculpted nickel silver guard finished to 1200 grit and buffed, K&G stabilized Acacia, opalite and turquoise accents, turquoise spacers and a fine piece of Elk. The pin is stainless steel, left just proud. Finished with multiple coats of carnauba wax. The handle feels great in my left and right average size hand with room to spare.
The premium sheath features my Gaucho man carving and is a snug fit with great retention yet easy to deploy.
Asking only $285 to your US door, and of course your satisfaction is my only priority. I can accept paypal, check or MO, and the price includes fees and free shipping in the US. Do not use any descriptors like knife, blade etc with paypal, they are getting stupid.
Thanks so much for looking! Please feel free to comment, ask anything here or via PM.

The leather sheath adds the final touch. Nice work John.
