Down to just 3 of the rosewood !!.

There was a few options on words to put before utility, but they all sounded dirty :)

2 " 0-1 steel blade ground from .250 stock. Handle measures 4" at wood intersection. Blade is app .100 thick so the point is very thin. If You use the tip for a screwdriver, shame on you. Comes with kydex sheath and beaded chain. These were all done by hand without the aid of ccd's.

I came up with this design in 04 when trying to make the most of a scrap of pattern welded steel. Several folks that have handled that knife wanted one, so come get one for yourself :)

Feels great in the hand for such a small knife and they are screaming sharp. Everyone that has handled one of these falls in love with it.



The first eight "I'll take one with x wood" gets it to their door in the domestic United States for $90.

Thank You,

Mark and Deborah Williams

We will be doing another batch of these very soon. We are accepting pre-orders if You wish
This batch will be waterjet cut , This does add an expense to making a knife. We will however keep the price the same for this model.

We will also be doing a custom set of 10 with a 3" blade of A-2 steel , heat treatment by Bos.
With this set, You can choose the shape of the blade grind with a pre-paid order and have a choice of several woods or micarta, or even your own supplied material that is possible for use.
These will be $120

Thanks Everyone

How much more to ship to Alaska?
 
Not sure if they will make it through Bastidville customs. ;).
But I'll take one please Mark. (zebra if there are any left or rosewood).
 
Thank You Mike,

We hope you will like it. If there are any changes that would make it a better whittler, let me know. I could double the price then.... :)

sending payment info from "T31"
 
Hey, wait! I wanted the Zebra one. Mark, let's talk. You got a new and fresh idea here that makes sense. Good for you, man!
 
Bastid , Buddy, Mike all have packages on the way. Thanks very much Guys. We do appreciate it.

Mark

One Zebra and five Rosewood still up for grabs.
 
Mine rolled in today. As is always the case with Mark's work it surprised me. Very comfortable handle well thought out radius relief along the bottom. The first joint of my index finger fits well and there are no sharp corners. With a blade angle perfect for utility, it makes for a sturdy integral cutter with a solid feel.

Finish could not be any better; can not feel the steel to wood transition. The hillbilly magic seems to have worked. The zebra wood part of the handle is not going anywhere.;)

Mark,

I received both of mine. Interestingly, I like the rosewood better.

Nice ergodynamics: my hands are fairly big, but the knives are comfortable.

One will likely end up as a college graduation present.

Wow! Got mine today and it totally put a smile on my face. My wife and son were also impressed. I love the thin (but definitely sturdy) profile and the kydex sheath is perfectly sized. It is a superb carry in my hip or coat pocket. Fit & finish are exceptional, as Bastid pointed out.

The angle between the blade and handle seems to be a key design element in the way this blade affects me when I grasp it. It's like a strong cup of coffee that compels a person to action, or more accurately... like a dog that wants to hunt!

Same as a lot of folks here, I love knives and confess to owning a whole bunch of them. However, Mark & Deb, you have come up with something that is truly unique and wonderfully functional - not so easy to do these days. Lots of makers try but only a few really succeed on all counts, as you obviously have here! :thumbup:
