This one is in the rough stages of finishing. The next steps for this one is smooth finishing then heat treatment. After that I will clean up and put the final finish on the blade, solder the guard and install the sub hilt. Shape the guard and sub hilt and polish them out. I will then install the handle material along with the bolts & nuts and the lanyard tube of the purchasers choice. SEE YOUR CHOICE OF ITEMS IN THE SPECS. The price for this one will be $507.50 which includes shipping. Please note that the handle material is the Buyers Choice as long as it doesn't get too expensive.

Thanks for looking everyone, your input is much appreciated! The first email gets this one.
 
I finished the heat treatment today and will continue the process. If no one purchases this one soon I will just finish it with either Ironwood or Ivory Paper Micarta which will give it a real ivory look.
 
This one is now completely mirror polished and I only need to install the handles and make the sheath and it will be complete. Since no one has spoke for this one just yet I have decided to put some micarta on this one for the handle material. I will post photos when finished. It should be finished up by Monday.
 
The price will remain the same, even for nice stag. I have a nice piece of stag in the shop right now if you want it on the knife just let me know.
 
Well here is the sub hilt fighter with the front guard and sub hilt installed and rough shaped as well as soldered and the front of the guard is polished. All I like to finish this one is to install some handles and finish the already started sheath. Are there any takers out there who would like to choose the handle material? Photos below:

Anyone interested just email me and let me know what you want.
 
I can photo the stag but it is still in stick form and I haven't split it down the middle yet, also it is the amber dyed stag so it has the dye all over it and the beauty of it is still hidden under the dye. I would need to split it and then buff off the coating so you could see what it looks like.
 
I split open the stag and it won't work on this knife so I have decided to put either Desert Ironwood on it or Green/Black Canvas Micarta. I hope to have it finished by Wednesday of this week.
 
I went ahead and finished this one today with some Black/Green Linen Micarta. I will have the sheath done by Wednesday and this one will be ready to go. All I need to do is a little more buffing and put on the logo. Here are 3 photos of the knife in its present state.

Thanks everyone, this one is still available.
 
This one is now finished and the photo below shows the sheath I made for this one. This sheath is made to be worn either on the right side or left and the knife can be inserted either way so this sheath is truly a one of a kind. The only way you can go wrong with this sheath is to try to put the handle in first and that just won't work, thanks everyone for all the comments. This one is still looking for a home. drducati where are you?
